Friday, Oct 30 : Our spirit day theme for October’s assembly is “Dress Your Best”. Think of it as a special occasion and an opportunity to wear your finest clothes and showcase your personal style. You can accessorize with bowties, sparkly headbands, fun jewelry, or anything that makes you feel fancy. The goal is to dress to the nines!
There will be prizes for both Best Dressed and Most Participation to classes in both the K-2 and 3-5 grade bands, so let’s see your school spirit shine!
The PTSA is excited to introduce four new STEM Maker Carts for our students! We have three grade-level carts (K–1, 2–3, and 4–5) plus a school-wide cart: “Make Your Own Robot Then Write a Story About It.”
These mobile carts bring hands-on building, creative problem-solving, and extra fun in science, technology, engineering, and math directly into our classrooms. Each cart comes with curriculum aligned to district learning goals to make integration seamless for our teachers.
Here are a few more items we’re looking for, if you have extras or some lying around at home: small plastic bottles, plastic or metal lids, TP and paper towel rolls, craft supplies, twisty ties, corks, clothespins, buttons, coffee Filters, cotton Balls / Q-Tips. Please drop them off in the large box outside the office.
Thursday, Oct 29, 6pm, BF Day Library: Join us to hear Dora and Laura Rose share takeaways from Washington State PTA’s Legislative Assembly, help shape our advocacy priorities for 2026–27, and explore how we can turn shared concerns into collective action for all students.
No advocacy experience needed! Whether you have a particular issue you’re passionate about or simply want to learn how to make a difference, there’s a place for you on the team. Come connect with fellow community members and help make our schools stronger for everyone!
Thursday, Oct 29, 5:00-7:00 pm, Lincoln High School Parking Lot: This event is run by Lincoln Clubs and sports communities. Each group brings a car decorated with a Halloween theme and gives out candy and treats to students and families in our community.
