Some thoughts about the week. . .

Grade 6

NPTO hosts NobleBOOro's Spooktacular on Saturday, 10/26, 4-7pm.  This is NPTO's major fundraiser.  We hope your family will stop by for costume parade, a haunted library, Halloween themed games, silent auction and over 50 raffles.  Food for sale includes chili, hot dogs, homemade macaroni and cheese, corn bread, apples, carrot sticks, popcorn, hot and cold cider, and a variety of yummy desserts. You can buy a main course meal for $5, or items can be purchased a la carte.

Tickets are 5 for $1 to play games or enter your name to win prizes being raffled at the event.  The event is open to the public and there is no fee to attend. The costume parade begins at 5pm with all participants gathering in the music room to circle the stage.  Raffles and silent auction will end at 6:30pm. Winning items will be projected on screen starting at 6:40 pm.

If you would like to volunteer or make a raffle donation, please contact the school. We need a few more parent volunteers!  The shifts are not long or difficult: 4-5:15 or 5:15-6:30. 

The PUMPKIN RUN is Wednesday after school at LA.  Permission slips are due today to Mrs. York.  Also, please be sure all fall sports uniforms have been returned to AD Director, M York by Friday. 

After lots of preparation and a few meetings, Mr. Will's Outing Club will head off to the mountains this week. We're hoping or good weather!

A Flu Vaccine Clinic will be offered this week, Thursday, 10/24, 9am-11am.  Forms were due by 10/17, but because of last Thursday's school cancellation, you may have missed it.  Please contact the school today if you need a form!

The Nobleboro Central School would like to thank Jason Lafrenaye for his generous donation to the school music program. We are all excited to hear the "bucket drum" ensemble at this year's holiday festival. Be sure to put this date on your calendar: Winter Arts Festival/Concert is planned for Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 6:15 pm.  The book fair will be open in the library that week too.

Remember last year's fun?

At NCS we celebrate PUMPKIN DAY on October 31.  Students engage in seasonal group lessons and activities. No dress-up required! Please save your costumes for the SPOOKTACULAR on 10/26 and/or your evening on 10/31.

It's Applefest Season!

Yes, there should be an apple picture here, but this week's artwork by 8th grade students Gary and Steven is awesome and needed to be shared.

Nobleboro's APPLEFEST is Saturday, October 5.  This afternoon our 8th grade students will help community members turn the school into an autumn celebration before tomorrow's happening.  Applefest is put on by the Nobleboro Historical Society (NHS).  Our 8th grade students jump in to help set up, work concessions, or help with clean up.  We're grateful for the NHS and its connection with our school! You're welcome to stop by Saturday, October 5, 10-2pm.

Later in October:  NobleBOOro Spooktacular! This is NPTO's very well-attended annual fundraiser.  It's scheduled for Saturday October 26th 4-7pm.  We need volunteers!  Spooktacular is very popular, but without volunteers we can't pull it off. Shifts are short--either 4pm-5:15 or 5:15-6:30. A sign up sheet is in the lobby. If you're not in the building in the near future but would like to help, call the school. Some examples of volunteer needs are: selling tickets; silent auction; selling desserts & drinks.  

Autumn is also Parent Teacher Conference season. Conferences are in November, but now is your opportunity to sign up. This link will connect you to the schedules for each grade level:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lfL5QlYKehBXeEV_tNvCjL8yD1gcYoz9WdxonUyBZAI/edit?ts=5631139a 

Access your child's grade to choose a spot from the available dates and times. (You do not need to sign-in to sign up for a conference. Please contact your teacher directly if no spaces remain.) 

A gentle reminder:  It's best to contact school first thing in the morning with changes to dismissal routines.  An email or call by 9am is perfect! 

Enjoy the weekend!
