Thank

like to thank Janet Contursi and Diane Grassi for training them in CPR/First

get CPR certified!

Fond
Farewell
We will be wishing Molly Arnoldt
a fond farewell as she takes a position with Lutheran Social Services working
on the Advancement Team. Molly followed
her son and daughter to Brickton in 2004 when she became an Advocate for
Montessori Education. Her great affinity
for Brickton will remain but she will be wearing her “parent volunteer hat”
with her daughter Ellie in the Middle School Program. Molly’s last day with us will be October 31st
so plan to stop by and wish her well.

recommendation Matthew!And here is another
timely opportunity, not too far from Brickton: a spectacular Story Telling festival at
Dominican University.

the Book. A variety of activities are in the planning stages. Stay

Trunker
Treating
Brickton
will celebrate Halloween on Friday, October 31st with a costume parade and Trunker
Treating. Once the
children have completed the parade route through the school and the Red
Mane offices, Trunker Treating will begin. Participating parents will
park their cars in the main parking lot with their car trunks open where they
will have Halloween treats for the students. Use the same consideration
as for the classroom treats, especially by providing treats which do not contain nuts.
Expect about 120 TrunkerTreaters. In case of rain, Trunker Treating
will take place in the Great Room. If you choose to decorate your car, please
do so prior to the parade. There is only a moment or two between theend of the
parade through the Great Room to the beginning of Trunker Treating for the head
of the line. If you are interested, please RSVP to Kelly at kelly.mcdermott@brickton.org or Sara in the office.
