Thank
You Corner
Thank you to Megan Bucaro (mother
of TJ in Room 104) for helping with Operation Child Find which made the process
run more smoothly for the children. Betty Boduch, mother of Malina (Upper
Elementary) and Stefan (Children's House Rm. 101) has extended an invitation to
attend a wonderful concert by the Del McCoury Band, honoring Woodie Guthrie, free of charge at The North Shore Center
For The Performing Arts in Skokie tonight.
Details can be found by following this link and remember to
use the code "Betty" when calling to reserve your tickets! Thank you,
Betty, for this unique opportunity!
Cross
Country Update
On Monday, Brickton’s cross
country team participated in a Montessori Tri-Meet with Rogers Park Montessori
School and Chiaravalle Montessori School.
The students could choose to run in 1 or 2 mile races, and some opted to
run in both! This was the last meet of the season and our runners did not hold
back with many setting personal best times.
Great job Brickton runners!
School
Picture Orders
Proofs of the school pictures
have arrived and have been distributed to the parent folders. Ordering is easy - simply go to the
Inter-State website and enter your child's order code number. You can get
creative - there are several choices of backgrounds and borders.
Picture Retake Day will be on
Wednesday, November 5 for children who were absent on the first picture day and
also for siblings. If you were not
satisfied with the first portrait, you can request a do-over.
Let the office know if you would
like to have a sibling picture taken and also if you would like a retake. If you would like a retake, the first set of
proofs must be returned to the office.
Please call Sara, in the Main
Office, if you have questions.

ages and reading levels. It is very easy to set up an account, and when you
order online, your classroom earns free books, audio library books, and free
shipping! There are always great values
for your growing reader(s) or to give as gifts.

letter in your parent folder for all the details. The first due date is October 30th.
Brickton
Reads
Brickton Parents know how
important it is to have books at home and read daily. As you develop your home
libraries, there are many valuable resources.
The Children's Book Council Joint Committee and the Quicklists Consulting
Committee for the Association for Library Service to Children (a division of
the American Library Association), can help with titles you and your children
will love.
Brickton also has some resources
for parents. Please take a look at the shelf across from the Frog Tank in the
school lobby. You will find some books
for you and to share with your children.
Happy occurrences at Brickton include many new teeth and a few new
babies. Please feel free to borrow the books on these subjects as well as the
CDs in our new Music library.
As you plan your holiday book
purchases, keep our Manna program in mind.
Scholastic Books, Family Reading Night (Nov. 20-21), and the Brickton
Book Fair in December are all good resources.
You might also consider including carefully chosen books for birthdays,
milestones, family get togethers and JFBY gifts. (Just for Being You!)
Kinderdance
Update
Kinderdance is cancelled on
November 12th. A make up class will be held November 19th.

Wear Orders
