Our first PTA meeting of the year is Tuesday, October 2nd at 6:30 p.m. in the library.
PTA gives every parent a voice! It provides an opportunity to be more involved in your child's education and to make a difference at Candalaria. This month we will vote on our PTA operating budget. There will be free childcare in the gym.
See you there!
Boot Scootin' Huskies!
The Fund$ Run is Thursday, October 11th!
We will run, rain or shine, so make sure your student is ready for anything. Families are welcome to cheer on their students! Visit the PTA website for classroom run times and more information!
After the run, pledge envelopes will be sent home so you can start gathering your pledged funds. The first class to turn in all their money will earn a cookie party! All funds are due no later than October 26th.
We need more volunteers! Visit our online signup to see the opportunities, or email candalariapta@gmail.com.
On October 3-5th, the 5th grade will head off to Outdoor School for a few days of fun in the woods. Some of the activities include: fishing, archery, ropes courses to build group connection, camp crafts, evening fire circles, and forest side science lessons.
Thank you for supporting the 5th grade and helping to raise funds for this unforgettable experience

CANDALARIA VOLUNTEERS!
An approved background check must be completed before you can volunteer at Candalaria. Please visit Salem-Keizer School District's Volunteer page to submit your information for a criminal history check.
Background checks are good for five years, so if you submitted an application when your child entered Kindergarten, you will need to submit a new one when they enter 5th grade.
