View this email in your browser A Note from the Principals Good morning SJF Families, Tomorrow we will have an assembly for grades K-8. The NED assembly teaches about never giving up and having a positive mindset. The presenters use yoyo ticks to tell their stories and then have them for sale after the assembly.  Yoyos will be on sale at recess for the next 3 days starting at $10. See flyer below.  Santa's Workshop will be back this year and we are looking for donations. We are looking for items that would make good Christmas gifts. All donations will be given service hours ($30/hour). If you have items at home that would be good please bring them in or see our Amazon wishlist here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2MQDOFAIV6B4B?ref_=list_d_wl_lfu_nav_25 Service hours this year have been reduced for 30 hours to 15 since we will not be having a school carnival. Service hours are separate from fundraising and all families are required to do at least 15 hours of service for the school year. Please see the office if you have any questions.  The PTO has coordinated with the LA Kings for a fundraiser night on November 18 at 7:30pm! Tickets range from $57-$120.
