Fall Festival, Friday, October 30th Blue Oak’s Fall Festival event is going to be here before we all know it! This is a PTA Sponsored event; a collaborative effort between Blue Oak PTA, teachers, staff, and families. This is a very fun time for children and parents alike! The kids may come in costume (nothing too gory, please) and play carnival-like games that are run by them and their teachers. However, this event takes about 150 people to run successfully from planning, to set up, to manning that night, and to clean up. It cannot happen without your support! We need volunteers to help us make this a fun event. Parent/Student volunteer teams are highly encouraged. This is your opportunity to give back to your school community by volunteering. If you think you may be interested in volunteering, please contact our VP of Events, Catherine Maloney, at cmaloney1971@aol.com. Thank you!! Halloween Costumes at School Teachers have agreed to allow students to wear Halloween costumes if they choose on Friday, October 30th. However, the following rules will apply for the safety of all students. Thank you. *No weapons, light sabers, etc. *No masks covering faces or obscuring vision in any way. *No gore, blood, guts, or anything similarly inappropriate. *No costumes that restrict movement or ability to participate in recess or P.E. Thank you for supporting these rules.

Annual Fall Fundraiser By now you've probably seen the Fall Fundraiser catalogs that your child(ren) has brought home. These are from a new company this year, The Fund Raising People. Our representative from that company, Mike Coppola, did a fantastic job at our kick off assembly of getting the kids exited about the opportunity to help out their school and in the process earn a few prizes. This Fundraiser goes from Wednesday, September 23rd through Wednesday, October 7th. The order forms must be turned in to the teachers by Thursday, October 8th. Just a few of the fun items in the catalog are wrapping paper, household decorations, customized jewelry, cookie dough, chocolates and other candy, and magazines. Remember that if you have extended friends or family out of the area, they can also place on-line orders anytime during the Fundraiser time frame (09/23 – 10/07). These orders will count to your child(ren)’s total item sales. Their phone number is 877-769-0832, or www.schoolservices.us.com/shop. Volunteers needed… We will be in need of volunteers for delivery and distribution of the orders that will come in two to three weeks after the end of the fundraiser. We are aiming to coordinate this with Parent/Teacher Conferences. As the delivery date gets closer, we will have more specific dates and times when we will be in need of help. If you think you will be available and would like to help, please contact Tamara Abel, jt_house@comcast.net or (530)863-9597. Thank you!
