Good afternoon, Eaton families! Here is your Monday Minute for the week of October 2nd.
1. We are entering week 3 of our Read-a-thon fundraiser. Continue to ask your friends and families for donations. This is our only field trip of the year! We have great prizes this year from slap bracelets, t-shirts, guest announcer spot, surprise field trip, and even a Hover Board and Kart.
2. The Rocketeer went home last Friday with tons of information, lunch/breakfast menus, PTO connection, and family calendar. Here is a link to it on our website too: https://5il.co/266ga
3. Next week is Fall Break, so there is no school.
4. When we return it will be the final week of our fundraiser. All donations are due on Wednesday, October 18th to qualify for prizes. We will announce our top winners and Royal Court on Friday, October 20th during our LIVE announcements followed by our parade.
5. On Friday, October 20th we will have the Read-a-thon and Carnival.
6. The Auction will go live on Saturday, October 14th and will close at 7:30 pm the night of the Carnival (10/20). You will be able to purchase and take-home items the night of the Carnival if you are the highest bidder. Here is the link that goes live on October 14th: https://www.32auctions.com/2023EES
7. We will start the wristband and punch card presale on Monday, October 16th. We do discount the wristbands if purchased prior to the night of the carnival. We have 10 inflatables, 8 different food trucks, a DJ, and tons of booths so don’t miss it on October 20th from 5-8 on the track.
Have a great week and if we can do anything please reach out.
