It doesn't get much better than teachers in the dunk tank, games, music, face painting, snow cones, and the ice cream truck on a perfect fall afternoon.  Even Sir Purr from the Carolina Panthers joined in on the fun greeting families and pulling Ms. Hu's name for the weekly campaign drawing.  Ms. Hu is the lucky recipient of two Panthers tickets.

Thanks to the PTO and especially to Dawn Lombard for organizing this event.

The second annual Eagle Fun'd' Day (formerly Scholars' Academy Fun'd' Run) is quickly approaching!
 
This year our students will have a special day to help raise money for the PTO.  During the week of October 25th, PE class will be dedicated to several fun activities that will earn the children points.  Students will participate in basketball-shooting, jump-roping, bean bag toss, target toss, and volleying, earning a point for each successful basket, jump, toss, and volley.  Pledge forms will be sent home with each child.  Friends and family may pledge a certain amount per point or give a flat amount.  Points will be tallied after all classes have completed the events and parents will be informed of the amounts due.  Please return completed pledge forms by October 22.
 
Also, please consider volunteering for the Fun'd' Day for your child's class or coming to the event to cheer on the kids.  Room parents will send out the schedule and call for volunteers.  Last year the Fun Run was a great success and the children had a fantastic time!  Special thanks to Noelle Zagorski for coming up with these fabulous activities!
