Craft and Bake Sale will take place on Thursday from 11am-7pm during Parent-Teacher interviews. There will be a silent auction featuring a grade 3 Christmas Show package which includes 6 tickets PLUS reserved seating, lots of delicious homemade baked goods, homemade crafts, an art raffle, and last but not least, an opportunity to win a beautiful Christmas tree professionally decorated by A Pop of Pretty. At recess time, children will be able to purchase a chocolate chip cookie (peanut & tree nut free) OR a small bag of popcorn for 50 cents. We acknowledge the generous contributions from all MQP families, especially the dedicated parent volunteers who spend countless hours organizing and executing this this annual event. Your support is very much appreciated!

Report Cards will be distributed to students at the end of the school day on Tuesday. If you don't see a report card, be sure to check with your students teacher. As a result of Parent-Teacher interviews taking place on Thursday, there will be early dismissal. School will end at 11am to accommodate interviews. Also, there is no school on Friday due to a teacher professional learning day. School will resume on Monday, Dec. 2nd, which is Day 5 on the cycle.

The Scholastic Book starts Monday, Nov. 26th, and runs until 7pm on Nov. 29th! Students should have already received a schedule from their teachers. Parents are invited to come with students to the fair as well. Money raised from the book fair will go towards the library, including purchasing new books, and new seating for students.

Tomorrow is Ice Cream Day at MQP! Bring in $1 and be prepared to eat a tasty Ice Cream Sandwich and support the PTA! Even when the weather is cold, an ice cream sandwich is delicious. (And obviously better than a liverwurst sandwich!)
