Happy fall, everyone! While we can’t all be together for our usual fall festival — dancing and showing off our costumes and crossing our fingers for the teacher treat raffles — we still want to celebrate the season and our community in a safe, socially distanced way, and we hope you can join us!
* Mini Pumpkin Display!
We hope everyone had a chance to pick up a mini pumpkin from 93 Gardner St.; if you didn’t, or if you would like to keep decorating, we have several left, so please stop by and pick them up from the porch anytime. (Here’s our Pinterest page of ideas again, if you need it!)
Once your pumpkins are decorated, we’d love for you to add them to our outdoor display so everyone can come by to admire them. Tables will be set up in the overhang area from Monday (10/26) at 12:30pm through Friday (10/30) at 3pm. Drop off your pumpkin whenever you can and pick them up again at the end of the week!
We would also love for you to share your pumpkins, costumes, and anything else that’s making you happy this fall on our fall festival Flipgrid: https://flipgrid.com/605f8702 — just sign in with your NPS student email and upload a short (no more than 30 seconds) video to share with everyone!
* Fall Festival Activity Bags!
When you stop by to see the pumpkins, you’re invited to pick up an activity bag for each of your kids — they’ll be set out in the overhang all week. The bags each contain a fall-themed bookmark craft kit, a piece of candy, and a printout of our scavenger hunt for your family to do together!
* Lincoln-Eliot Fall Scavenger Hunt!
Go for an adventure around the outside of our school and see how many of these questions you can answer! Then, if you’d like to, come back here and fill out this Google form with your guesses:
https://forms.gle/KiGAEYhQh8MLYFSv9
Everyone who fills out the form by Monday, November 2, will be entered in a raffle to win a $50 gift card from a local bookstore — and don’t worry, you don’t have to get all the questions right in order to win! (If you can’t make it to the school to do the hunt, you can still enter the raffle — just fill out the form with your email address and feel free to guess some of the answers if you’d like to!)
As a reminder, while you’re on school grounds, please observe all the current rules: wear a mask at all times, stay six feet apart from others, and wash your hands / use hand sanitizer in between touching anything.
We hope this gives everyone a fun, safe way to connect with the school and each other — we really miss seeing you all! Thank you to the volunteers who helped make this happen! Have a wonderful week, everyone!
