The Lego Robotics Club is off to a great start! We have been learning how to work as a team to accomplish a task, which will help us when we compete as teams with our Lego Robots. Girls, I know you've been waiting to hear about GEMS! Well, the wait is over! Our first GEMS Club meeting will be held October 6, 2015 from 4:15-5:15!!!! Only those girls who have returned a registration form and a permission slip will be able to participate. ■

An amazing selection of books is coming to Fairley! The Book Fair is a great way to get everyone excited about reading. At this year's Book Fair you will find the latest and finest titles for kids. The new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book will also be available for pre-ordering! Parents, if you would like to volunteer to help at the Book Fair, you can: decorate and set up, help students select books, give a book talk, or help pack up. There are lots of ways to participate. Contact the school library if you wish to volunteer.
Mark your calendar for the Book Fair: Monday, October 26th through Friday, October 30th! ■

Fit Bit

Hello Parents,
We just had our Asthma Awareness Day; we were greatly informed about asthma and how to manage it. We are currently planning a Walk to School event and a Fire Safety event in October. Dates have not been set; however, we will send home notification in Tuesday folders so be on the look out so you can attend these events! ■

"Intelligence plus character is the true goal of education."
Dr. Martin Luther King
This month we will discuss respect and responsibility.
Remember: respect means to treat others the way that you would like to be treated; responsibility means to do what you have to do, even when you don't want to do it because it must be done anyway. ■

Moving Forward

Wow! How time flies! We can’t believe we are already toward the end of our first grading period. Each student will receive a copy of their Progress Report to take home. This is not the same as the report card. The Progress Report shows you how your child is progressing toward the I.E.P. goals. Please call Miss Dobbs or Ms. Cummings if you have any questions or concerns pertaining to your child’s progress. ■
