Good morning! We just want to remind you that tomorrow, Friday, October 18th, is an early release day with students being dismissed 90 minutes early. Kindergarteners will come out the doors at 12:50 and all other students at 1:00. Busses will be dropping your children off 90 minutes earlier as well.

Just another reminder that next week there will be no school on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 24th and 25th due to Parent/Teacher conferences.

Mini Pumpkin Decorating Contest + Coin Drive

Seward Elementary’s 1st Annual Mini Pumpkin Decorating Contest + Coin Drive

Step 1: Buy a mini pumpkin OR if there are none left at the store, find a smaller sized one!

Step 2: Decorate your pumpkin! Be unique! Use paint, googly eyes, whatever you can think of! NO carving, blood, gore, violence.

Step 3: Bring the pumpkin to Mrs. Beck’s classroom by October 14th.

Step 4: On October 14th, voting will begin. Each pumpkin will have its own container for coins/cash. The pumpkin with the most amount of money will win a fun prize!

*ALL proceeds will go to soldiers serving over seas. Whether we decide to pack care boxes or donate the money, these funds will be given to support our United States Military!

Soccer Intramurals

4th/5th grade soccer intramurals start next week! If you’ve already filled out your sports registration packet you do not need to do it again. Students may pay their fee at the front office by the first day of practice on Tuesday, Oct 1st.

Spirit Week

Next week 9/30 – 10/4 is Seward Elementary’s Fall Spirit week! Brought to you by the Student Leadership Team. We can’t wait to see your outfits!

Free/Reduced meal program

We encourage all parents/guardians to apply for the Free/Reduced meal program. If approved for free, both breakfast and lunch meals are covered (unless a child goes in for a 2nd lunch, which would be full price). If approved for reduced, lunch is .40 and breakfast is free. You can easily apply by going to https://www.schoolcafe.com/KENAIPENINSULABOROUGHSD or can scan the code below. Those students who are on the 30-day grace period from last year will switch to full pay on October 3rd if a new application is not received in the next day or two as it can take up to 10 days for District Student Nutrition to process.
