Hello Willagillespie Families,

We are in October, with those cool, crisp Autumn days…or the 85 degree muggy ones…it is definitely an Oregon Fall! (Remember: Layers are your friends!)

Our calendar is chock full of fun for this month so be sure to look at the calendar for all the details, but the highlights are Fun Run, Spooktacular, School Picture day, and happening right now, Spirit Week!  

Here’s a quick breakdown of our Spirit Day themes this week:

Monday, 10/5 - Sports Day

Tuesday, 10/6 - Pajama Day

Wednesday, 10-7 -  Backwards/Inside Out Day

Thursday, 10/8  - Fun Run Shirt Day!

And speaking of dressing up, here is some great advance info on Spirit Dress up for October 30th:

This Friday is a NO SCHOOL day, so rest up from all the Fun Running, and enjoy your long weekend.

And, Go Eagles!
