Read-A-Thon is on!
This has been a great Read-A-Thon so far! Friday, October 26th was the last day to enter reading minutes, but sponsors can keep donating through Monday, November 5th! We are hoping to raise another $2,000 to meet our goal for this year! Keep reaching out to your family and friends for sponsors!
Students get prize money for each donation they get. Check the shop from your child's reader page where they can choose from a long list of fun prizes! The last day to shop for prizes is Monday, November 5th.

Costumes at School
A gentle reminder that Phantom Lake Elementary does not allow costumes at school out of respect for our families that choose not to celebrate. |

Reflections
Everyone should have gotten a 2-page (front and back) handout through kid mail that goes over the official rules and entry for the National PTA Reflections program.
The Reflections program is an arts contest put on by the National PTA for the last 50 years. The program helps "students explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life". (from the National PTA Reflections Arts Program webpage) If you walked through Crossroads Mall last spring, you may have seen displays in the hallway by Hallmark showcasing Reflections work from students in surrounding schools.
Students in all grades (pre-K-5 at Phantom Lake) can create and submit original works of art in one or all of the available arts categories. The categories are: Dance Choreography; Film; Literature; Music; Photography; and Visual Arts.
Our theme this year is Heroes Around Me (you'll see fliers with "Heroes Around Me" on the notice boards around school!).
Submissions are due to the front office by November 1!
