This year's Turkey Trot will be next Friday, November 21, from 9:00 to 10:15 AM at the PUC track. Donations will go toward ADRA's Hurricane Melissa relief efforts in the Caribbean. 

Sponsorship forms have been sent home. Please let us know if your child needs a new form. Sponsors may either turn in their donations through the students or donate here: https://www.pucelementary.org/turkey-trot

The Turkey Trot will be followed by our annual Thanksgiving Feast. Each class will be in charge of bringing a food for the feast:

• K-2: Salad, Veggies, or Fruit

• 3-4: Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

• 5-6: Stuffing or Mac & Cheese

• 7-8: $5-$10 cash for Dinner Roasts (the school will purchase)

• The Parent Club will provide water, pies, and rolls.

Paving

We have been notified that road paving will begin soon on Neilsen Court and Cold Springs Road. The paving company has been notified of our pick-up and drop-off times, but there may still be some delays. Depending on the flow of traffic and location of the road work, we may occasionally change the pick-up location to the PUCE gym parking lot. Watch for updates!

Thank you!

Thank you to all our school families who helped us have a successful week with Missoula Children's Theatre by keeping up with schedule changes, sending snacks and lunches, helping your children learn their lines, and so much more! A special thanks to Peter and Ruthe Adeogun for sharing their home with the MCT team.

Concert Clothing Swap

With several performances right around the corner, we will have a table in the lobby set up for a concert clothing swap from now until Christmas Break. If you have concert black and white clothing that your children have outgrown, feel free to drop it off for others to use. If your child needs a new size, come browse and see what we have. Black pants, suit jackets, ties, dresses, black or white dress shirts, and black dress shoes are all great items to share.

School Chapel Speakers

This year our school's spiritual theme is "Caring Christian Citizens."  At our Friday all-school chapels, we are exploring how to be caring, Christian citizens through different careers. We would love to have families and community members come speak about their career. If you are willing to share, please let us know! We have lots of dates available throughout the rest of the year.

Free Women's Workout Class

A free women's workout class led by Ivana Verduzco is being offered on Fridays at 6:00 AM in the PUCE Gym. This is a great opportunity for women to build community through exercise!
