Alone we can do so little – together we can do so much.

Helen Keller

Family Math Night was a success thanks to our great staff!  Many thanks to all families who participated last night and to everyone who will complete and return their Smarties math sheets.  We welcome feedback from parents as we work together to improve mathematics thinking and learning at Alpine!.

Thanks to all of the students and families who supported our QSP fundraising campaign.  Your sales efforts and very generous donations are greatly appreciated and will benefit our students.  Well done!

Oct. 31	Hallowe’en and Orange and Black Day – Students are welcome to dress in school appropriate costumes ( no masks, scary stuff or weapons) or to wear orange and black.  This is primarily an instructional day although there will be a parade in the afternoon in the last block so we can have some fun too.  It is imperative that we work together as a community to remain vigilant about not allowing peanut products into our school at this time of year.  If possible, please have your children enjoy their treats at home.
