THIS THURSDAY
K & 5th THANKSGIVING LUNCH
Families of our K and 5th grade students are invited to a special, family Thanksgiving Lunch on Thursday, November 10th! No RSVP required. Just show up at your child’s scheduled lunch time. Guest lunch price is $4.25 per person.
Credit cards are not accepted. You can pay with cash, check (made payable to Kincaid Elementary), or add money to your child’s MyPaymentsPlus lunch account.

DO STORYTELLING ON THE GO
Take turns adding to a story the two of you make up while riding in a car or bus. Either one of you could start. Try making the story funny or spooky. This will stretch the imagination and foster a love for stories. It’s fun, too! Go the extra mile and record them as an auditory file to save for the future or jot them down in a book.

FROM THE PTA…
November kicks off our ‘Tis the Season of Giving‘ Community Initiatives. We look forward to your participation in these upcoming activities.
Help Kincaid help others in our community this holiday season. Families are asked to donate canned goods during our Canned Food Drive November 14 – 18 which will be given to local food pantries and MUST Ministries. Collection boxes will be placed near the café entrance for donated items.
Cookie Copia – November 16
Kincaid teachers and staff members are a big part of our school community and we want to let them know how thankful we are for them. Help us shower them with yummy goodies ahead of the holidays. Sign up and show off your baking skills (or buy from a local store) and bring either sweet, salty, healthy, nut free or gluten-free treats for our school staff to enjoy on November 16.

The Giving Tree Drive
