Hello Dear Minnesota River Community,Would any of you be willing and able to bring Gex home for the break? I know this is last minute. Let us know if you can do it, and we'll find a way for you to pick him up (any time) tomorrow.Best,Erik and Patrick--Erik and PatrickCo-Guides Minnesota River ClassroomGreat River SchoolSt Paul, MN

We are writing to communicate about celebrating Halloween at school. We will be doing harvest related activities with the children on Tuesday, October 31st. These will vary from classroom to classroom, but all will involve some fun, hands-on activities and experiences to celebrate this time of year. Some classrooms may do activities with the Upper Elementary students who will be doing presentations on famous individuals and biography stories.
We would like to request the following from you:
- Please do not send the children in costumes; regular school dress is expected
- Please do not send candy to school in lunch boxes or as gifts to share both on Halloween or in the following days

Minnesota River Classroom Updates
Dear Elementary Families
We have a historical practice at Great River to provide snack for lower and upper elementary students. Generosity of families has been essential to sustaining this practice over the years. This year, we have a grant that is supporting the elementary program expansion, and we have recently been informed that a classroom snack cannot be funded by our grant.
Due to this adjustment in funding, we will have to adjust the scope of the snack we can fund in our classrooms. Budget for maximum reimbursement will be set at $30 per week. If you are able to donate your snack contribution, that is sincerely appreciated by the school
The goal of classroom snack is to bind the community together through shared responsibility for practical life.
Examples of snack are simple items: and one of: sliced oranges, crackers, string cheese, etc. (This is an adjustment from earlier communicated examples.)
This past shortened week the students were busy catching up on their work and beginning new projects. First years continue to work on cursive handwriting and the decimal system along with identifying their geometric shapes. Second years are busy working on adjectives, a variety of math activities and the fundamental concepts of geometry. Many third years are busy working on multiplication, roles of the adjectives and right-angled triangles.
We are excited to begin our reading groups during literature time this week. Please start a conversation with your student about what they are working on. If yo can sign up to volunteer, please click on this: www.SignUpGenius.com/
Thank you,

Dear Minnesota River, Andrea and Rebeccah,
I looked on the schedule and didn't see our name since Stella was a recent addition to the classroom. Please allow me to cover at least this request. I'll get snack for all.
Thanks

We have found ourselves without snack for the week, and thus without food for Gex as well. Would anyone be willing to fill the hole for tomorrow with just one snack, and also shredded lettuce and tomatoes?
Forgive the desperate plea; we did not receive snack this week and have run out of reserves. Ideas for snack can be found on the google document I shared.
If you could help, it would be extremely appreciated. Please reply all. Submit a receipt and we can reimburse you.
Gratitude always,
