FUN!  I hope you all were able to join us last Friday evening for the PTA Family Fall Carnival.  It was so much fun!  Many thanks to Charlotte Gruber (Taylor’s mom) and her hard working committee:  Tric Sohosky (Sophia and Robert’s mom), Ross Goldberg (Benjamin and Joshua’s dad), Aimee Scott (Tristan, Lauren, Caroline and Evan’s mom), Natalie Yancy (Noelle’s mom), Wayne Levan (Jacob and Claire’s dad) Truong Nguyen (Chris and Hailey’s dad) and Robert Berry (Sam and Nate’s dad).  Thank you, also, to the Richardson High School Interact students who volunteered and helped so much!  They showed the leadership skills that RHS is known for!

RHS HOMECOMING PARADE - FRIDAY OCTOBER 21, 2011  This year’s homecoming theme is “Oscar goes to the Movies” so NHE is rolling out the red…I mean…PURPLE carpet and will have a great float for all NHE students to ride on.  The parade route is on Belt Line Road. It starts at Heights Elementary and ends at Richardson High School. ANY NHE STUDENT CAN RIDE ON THE FLOAT!!   If you plan to ride on the float please donate a new package of underwear in the donation basket in our school lobby, all proceeds go to the Clothes Closet. Plan to be at the float location by 3:45 on Oct. 21.  It’s a good idea to carpool with someone and park a car at the float start location and one at the parade end location (Richardson High school) to avoid lots of extra walking.  Just make sure your child has a ride home if you cannot attend.  

Box Tops   It’s also time to send in any Labels and Box Tops for Education you’ve been saving.

Reflections   Reflections entries are due this Friday, October 21.  Be sure entries are mounted on black paper and are not signed on the front.  The theme is “Diversity is…”

OREO Day!  Tomorrow (Wednesday) is OREO Day at NHE!  Students will be stacking, graphing, counting, predicting, writing, comparing and having fun with OREO cookies while reinforcing Math, Science and Language Arts skills.  Everyone is encouraged to wear black and white clothes.

Thank you!  Thank you to the following people for donating gifts and gift cards for teacher drawings:  Robin Stevens (Trent and Kate’s mom) for the adorable Halloween bat, Linda West (Simon’s mom) for the Starbucks gift cards, Stephanie Watson (Jacob and Ellen’s mom) for the Barnes and Noble gift cards.

Mixed Bag Fundraiser   Fundraiser orders are due tomorrow, Wednesday.  The class that sells the most in the A Hall and the one that sells the most in the B Hall will be having a Picnic Lunch party.  Please send your orders in tomorrow.
