Students will briefly present their folders to the class and tell about their book. Good Luck, detectives ! Show Off your Fall Frenzy Shirt and Win MONEY for EDEN! If you purchased a Fall Frenzy shirt, be sure to snap a picture of you or your child wearing it. Post the picture on Facebook or Instagram with the following message: “Eden is going to Fall Frenzy2015 at Pell City Lakeside Park. #fallfrenzy2015” Every time you post, repost or share, Eden will be entered to win $500. The school with the most shares and reposts wins.

We hope to see you all at Fall Frenzy on the 10th. Stop by the Eden booth for some yummy cotton candy. 3rd and 4th Grade Stay-N-Play will be Friday, October 9th from 3:00-5:00. The cost to stay will be $5.00. All concessions will be $1.00. Another way to help Eden earn money is to use the Shoparoo app. All you have to do is download that app on your smart phone or device and take pictures of your receipts from any store. It is that easy! Be sure to use your PUBLIX Partners card each time you shop at Publix. Eden earns money from each use. If you need more cards for friends and family, let your child’s teacher know.

Report Cards will be sent home on Thursday, October 13th. Please sign and return them as soon as possible.

Goodie Day is every Friday. All snacks are $1.00. We are still collecting aluminum cans to cash in for money towards the new projects. You may drop your cans in the receptacle near the outdoor classroom. Spread the word and have your friends and coworkers collect cans for Eden.
