Fun Happenings at Thunder Ridge in October‏

  Hope you all are enjoying a wonderful Fall Break!! There are lots of FUN Happenings coming up at Thunder Ridge in the next few weeks!! Take a look...

*  School Spelling Bee for Grades 4-6 with the School Finals on Friday, October 19th!!

*  Reflection entries are due Tuesday, October 23rd!! This year's theme is "The Magic of a Moment"! Reflections is an awesome opportunity for each student to create something that reflects who they are, talents they have, and gives them the opportunity of turning their idea in something great. Entry forms can be found in the office and if you have any questions, let me know!!! Heather Lambert and Corrine Prestwich have done an incredible job with this year's 2012 Reflections!! :)

*  We are beyond THRILLED and GRATEFUL at the number of Box Tops already turned in this year...and we still have a WEEK and a HALF left!! Keep them coming!! Each class is competing to see who can turn in the most Box Tops from 10/1/2012-10/25. The TOP 3 winning classes earn a prize for their TEACHERS!! We are also participating in our second Box Top Competition with Riverview Elementary to see which school can collect the highest percentage of Box Tops per student!! Winning school gets to choose what the other school's Principal gets to dress up as for Halloween and come visit the winning school on Halloween. This was a really fun event last year and we have had an even more EXCITING time this year!!! :) Thanks for your support!

* October 26th- Orange/Black Spirit Day!!!

* October 31st- Halloween Parades- 9:30-10:30 am and 1:45-2:15 for PM Kindergarten. Parades will take place in the school's gym. :)

* November 2nd- Raptor Reading for our 5th graders and their parents!!

School Picture Update!!

Hi Thunder Ridge Parents,
We sent all of the pictures we've received from Capture Studios home yesterday afternoon (Oct. 1). If you are missing a picture packet, it is because the studio had a processing problem and some of the pictures did not print. They have informed me that the missing pictures should arrive here on Friday (Oct. 5) and we will send them home that afternoon. However, retakes were scheduled for Thursday (Oct. 4) and this would make it impossible for some of our parents to see the original pictures before retakes. Therefore, we have made arrangement with Capture Studios to move the day for retakes to next Tuesday (Oct. 9). We apologize for any inconvenience, but hope this will help improve the situation. Again, look for the missing picture packets to come home on Friday, October 5th and picture retakes are now scheduled for Tuesday, October 9th.

Thank you,
Principal Theler
