Come join with us for a fun evening at Skate King in Bellevue! With the music going and the disco lights shining this will be an evening your child will not forget! The $4 cash only fee includes admission and rental skates. Protective gear such as helmets are recommended but not required. Personal skates are subject to inspection and Inline skates are available at an additional $4. No outside food or drinks allowed inside, but a snack bar (cash only) is available. We will be collecting canned goods that evening to donate to the Issaquah Food Bank. Thank-you in advance for helping those in need right here in our community.

The Write-On! program is back!

This year, you and your child must sign a permission slip in order to receive the Write-On! journal or folder. Permission slips need to be returned by Friday, November 17th so that we can distribute the journals before the Thanksgiving break. The turn-in dates will be one Tuesday a month (starting December 5th) which coincide with Eager Reader turn-in dates. All the details of this fun and rewarding program will be included in your child’s journal. If you have any questions, or would like to help me out, contact Erin at erinearles@comcast.net

What is Caring Through Sharing?
Every year the Issaquah School District and our PTSA team up to help bring joy to underprivileged kids at holiday time. This year we will provide gifts for 10 children in our area. This is an excellent opportunity for your child to participate in community giving and help another child feel special this holiday season.

How Does It Work?
It’s fun and it’s easy. A permission slip will be sent home with your child this week. Please sign and return it to school with your child November 20 - 29. Participation is completely voluntary! Please fill out one permission slip per child. Students will bring the permission slip to lunch and select a gift tag from our giving display on the stage. Gifts will range in price from $10 to $25. Shop with your child for the gift, and turn in the unwrapped gift at school the first week in December.

Important Dates!
November 20 – 29 Permission slip turn-in/gift tag selection
December 6 – 8 Gift turn in at school
December 8 Volunteer wrapping party after school

We hope you will share some joy with other families in our community this year. Thank you for your kindness.
