Lower School Families,
Spirit Week has been amazing! We’ve loved seeing all of your students dressed up and showing their school spirit.
Kirby’s Dive Day is a fun, field-day-style after-school event on Thursday, November 6, from 3:30–5:00 PM. Sign-ups open October 13, and spots are limited. Sign-ups will close on 10/24 or when the event is full!
We’re looking for 1–2 volunteers to help organize materials and write names on Perfect Attendance certificates. Volunteers can sign up through Volunteer Tracker.
We’ve loved seeing families join PE with their students! Up next: Bring Your Family to Art for grades 3–5, happening October 20–27. [Sign up here]
Our Chorus Program is continuing to collect gently used athletic sneakers through October 16 for the GotSneakers fundraiser—raising funds while helping the environment.
October is Disability Awareness Month! We’re excited to share that a new group is forming for families and friends of our students with disabilities, with the goal of promoting inclusion, awareness, and understanding both on campus and in the wider community. As part of our celebration, we’re donating literature featuring themes of inclusion to every lower school classroom. Want to learn more or get involved? Contact Heather Cheezem at CheezemHL@icloud.com or (704) 517‑8829.
Save the Date: Unity Day is Wednesday, October 22. Wear ORANGE to show your support for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion—and to remind everyone that no child should ever experience bullying.
Have a great weekend,
Jamie Williams & Ellen Girardi
