October 2014 Garden Work Day
Our October Garden Work Day gave us gorgeous weather. We had a lovely morning with lots of help from the children who joined.
We focused on the beds in the K-1/Art/Gym area known as the Monticello Garden because its apple trees are from Thomas Jefferson stock.
We harvested lots of beautiful carrots from the two beds on the grass.

September Updates
We have really enjoyed having the children and teachers back in school. The students are adjusting well and instruction is underway. The teachers spent a lot of time in September building classroom communities and setting expectations. This has really contributed to a smooth opening.
Below are a few items of interest to parents:

Treasurer’s Report:
- Reminder: Remember to re-link your Giant, Safeway, Harris Teeter, and Target cards to Campbell. This is free $$$ for our school.
- For the 2013-2014 school year, we expect income to be $73,254. Expenditures are projected to be $66,512, so we project a net gain of $6,741. These are very conservative estimates. Fundraising last year was very successful, so we have a good cushion for this year.
No Early Release
A message from CAMPBELL ELEMENTARY
Just to clarify, there is NOT an early release tomorrow. Campbell's first Early Release is on October 23rd.

Hi all,
Principal’s Chat Schedule
Earlier in the summer I requested feedback and topics for Principal’s Chats. Several parents said earlier was better, while others said the morning is hectic. So we’ll compromise. We’ll try an 8:00 start time this year and see how that impacts attendance. We can try to end by 9:00 so that parents who need to get to work can do so. I have the first two topics identified. We can determine the others as things evolve. Often topics come up at PTA meetings that warrant further discussion. Read More
