October has been an exciting month at Chews Elementary! Our students were amazed by Joe Romano’s "Smile! It’s Magic!” assembly, fostered a love of reading at Champ’s Reading Patch, and enjoyed a fun-filled evening at Candy Bar Bingo. We wrapped up the month with our favorite Halloween festivities, filled with creativity, laughter, and school spirit. 🎃💚 A huge thank you to our dedicated staff and incredible Family and School Association (FSA) for sponsoring these wonderful events that make Chews such a magical place to learn and grow! 🐾✨

LAST CALL FOR JOE CORBI ORDERS!!!

All Joe Corbi orders are due by Monday 9/22. If you didn't register your child for online orders, do that now!!! 😀

https://www.shopfund.com/

Chews School Code:
NEFU7

Paper orders can also be turned into school on Monday. Please make sure the order and accurate payment is in a sealed envelope and labeled with your child's name and "Joe Corbi" so the office knows to give it to the FSA.

Online is definitely easier for you to keep track of your child's sales and they will earn coins to spin for extra prizes!

If you haven't looked at the catalog yet, check it out today!!! 😀 Pizza, cookies, cheesecake, pretzels, wrapping paper, and more!!! 😀

Orders will be delivered to the school the week of Oct 21 and you will pick up to deliver to your friends and family. Exact date and time (will be after school) will be set soon.

The FSA thanks all of you for helping to make our first fundraiser of the year a success!!!! 😀
