Red Ribbon Week® is October 23-31stThe Red Ribbon Campaign is the oldest and largest drug prevention program in the Nation.  As parents do have a major impact on their child’s choice to not do drugs, we would like to support you in taking action.  Attached to the Post is a flyer on how you can support your child/ren in making good choices.  Watch for information to come home with your child later this week on a poster contest.

The Garden Needs You!  * A few handy people to put together a metal shed (from a kit). The Outdoor Classroom and Garden have been bustling with activity already this fall, especially thanks to our unit on birds!  In addition to learning how to observe the details of nature and care for our space and plants, we are now painting a bird bath made from terra cotta pots.  We are also very much in need of the following:

Date TBA based on availability as a group.

* One or two handy people to pour a simple foundation for the shed, anytime.

* LOTS of 2L plastic bottles WITH CAPS… for making bird feeders

* Old wooden spoons/spatulas… for making perches on the bird feeders

* Pinecones, for making bird feeders

School Chess program:  Please email Christy if you would be interested in an after school chess program. An outside group is offering the program. We would hire a PUCS parent to work with them.

Parents-Have you ever considered being a chapel speaker for PUCS?  Or have you heard a speaker and thought he or she would be a good speaker for PUCS kids?  Contact Christy Wauzzinski at christy.wauzzinsk@pucs.org if you have an idea for a PUCS Chapel speaker.
