Story Book Pumpkins 
Looking for something fun and a little different this fall for a fun, family activity?  Try creating a story book pumpkin.  A story book pumpkin is where you choose a book and then decorate a pumpkin to match a character in the story.  It's lots of fun for kids of all ages.  If you create one, we'd love to share a picture with our school community.  Send pictures to Mrs. Peck at rpeck@rcsdk8.org.  Check out some examples below. Have fun!

Donations
Many people have been inquiring about how they can help or what they can do as we transition back to school.  Two items than can be donated are disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer.  Although we have supplies from the state and district, it's nice to have extra.  

The disinfectant wipes have to be bleach/chlorine free, and the sanitizer has to be at least 70% alcohol.  Our hope is to have a small container of hand sanitizer per desk to allow for students to sanitize right at their desk as needed.  Here are some pictures below, but always double check the labels. 

Donation boxes will be in front of the school Monday-Friday from 7:30-4:00.  

Water Bottles

As we transition back onto campus, we will be asking that students bring their own water bottles with them.  The drinking fountains will be turned off outside but available in the room to fill up the bottles.  We don't want kids drinking straight from them because often little ones end up putting their mouth on it.  If you are unable to send a water bottle with your child, please let Mrs. Peck know.  Thank you! We will have small drinking cups in classrooms in case a kid forgets their water bottle at home, but we would also be open to donations for cases of water to keep in classrooms in case a kid forgets their bottle at home.
