Hello Kirk Families!

The Pancake Breakfast is coming soon and the Gift Basket and Raffle Committee needs your help to collect items for the gift baskets. I am enclosing the letter and donation request form here below. Please reach out to friends, family and businesses you patronize for donations for our Gift Basket Raffle. These letters will be coming home in your children’s cubbies and backpacks today so please keep a look out for them.

Thank you for your help!

Kirk Pancake Donor Form

Kirk Pancake Breakfast and Raffle

Dear Kirk Families,

This is the time of year when Kirk sponsors our “Helping Hearts for MS” program. From February 3rd – February 17th we will be collecting money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

We will kick off our program on the morning of February 3rd by having a Bake Sale and Craft Fair. Also, each classroom will have a jar in which students can put change, bills, or checks any time they wish until Friday, February 17th. Remember, “A dollar makes a difference.” Maybe students can see how many people they can ask to donate $1.00. Imagine how that would add up!

This program is very important to us here at Kirk since a few people involved with our school are fighting this terrible disease. It is also very important that our students come to understand the importance of community service and to realize that the character traits we talk about each month, such as kindheartedness, generosity, and teamwork, can be put into use to help people in need.

It is important for you to know that 100% of the proceeds go to the National MS Society. Last year we were able to send them over $2,000.00. Let’s see what we can do in 2012.

Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.
Kirk Student Council and Kirk Kids Care

**Checks are accepted. Please make
checks payable to: The National MS Society

BLANKET AND WARM CLOTHING DRIVE – JAN.15 THROUGH FEB.5

We will be collecting blankets (new or used, but clean, please!) and warm clothing, particularly jackets of all sizes for the L.A. Mission in Downtown L.A. Clothing should be in good repair and clean. Nights are cool this time of year and the need is great. If you have any questions, call Karen Carrington (886-4654) or Max Oliver (347-1954)

Containers will be located in the breezeway for your donations starting next week.

Thank you for your participation!

This year our school photographer, Alexander Photography, will be taking the children’s pictures on Monday, Oct. 17th and Tuesday, Oct. 18th. Order forms have been sent home in your children’s cubbies and need to be returned to school with your child on their picture day.

The pictures will be taken outside, weather permitting.

The children will be photographed in the clothes they wear to school that day and not dressed up in any other outfits as we have done sometimes in the past.

Sibling pictures will be taken at noon on both days. If you wish to have a sibling picture taken, then you will need to fill out a separate form and indicate which day you prefer.

Here is the schedule of times for each class.

PRESCHOOL & TOT CENTER
Monday, Wednesday & Friday children will be taken on Monday, Oct. 17th
Tuesday, Thursday and 5-day children will be taken on Tuesday, Oct. 18th

ELEMENTARY
Kindergarten – 2nd Grades will be taken Monday, Oct. 17th
3rd – 5th Grades will be taken Tuesday, Oct. 18th
A make-up day will be scheduled in the future.

Halloween is a very exciting day for children. We will be celebrating at Kirk with parties,
costume parades, and trick or treating to the classrooms and school office by the kindergartners. There are certain guidelines, however, that we would like you to know about and help us follow.

Children may wear their costumes to school provided parents observe these requests:

We look forward to sharing this fun day with your children.

Happy Halloween!
