Thank you to all the students and the families of Dale Street for the very generous donations we received to help Fehl-Price Elementary School in the recovery efforts from the Hurricane Harvey.

If you are interested in making a monetary donation, checks can be made payable to Beaumont ISD (please put Fehl-Price in the memo line) and send to:

Students in Ms. Isaacson's and Mrs. Crable's fourth grade classes spent time this week investigating energy and circuits using our new FOSS kits. This engaging way to learn highlights two of Dale Street's Core Values: Collaboration & Continuous Growth!
MCPE is turning 30!! This week marks the kick-off of our 30th year fundraising campaign. Everyone received a donation request letter in your mail box earlier this week. We kindly ask for your generosity so we can continue funding innovation in our schools. We want to turn every mailbox in town blue over the next 30 days as we reach our goal of $75,000! Please show your support and we thank you. Keep in mind for companies that match gifts to education (like Fidelity, etc), MCPE is a 501(c)3 charitable organization and qualifies for many of these match programs. Go Big Blue!

Thanks to these these to great Dale Street students who took time to interview me this week as part of their after school intramural class - Newspaper Club. No question that these two could be fantastic journalist if they choose.

| Thank you to Olivia and Tommy (both in Mr. Douglas' class) for reading today's book recommendations. Olivia recommended Coraline by Neil Gainman. Olivia gave this book 5 stars because "it is full of adventures and unexpected scenes." Tommy gave Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules five stars because "it has a lot of funny random things!" Thanks Olivia and Tommy! |

All students (regardless of whether they ride the bus to and from school) participated in this important exercise. Special thanks to Officer Manganello for her assistance with bus evacuation. |
This week Mrs. Flynn's class participated in math workshop focusing on multiplying numbers. What a fun way to highlight the MA Framework...Operations and Algebraic Thinking!
Halloween at Dale Street
The Dale Street staff enjoys making Halloween a safe, exciting, and consistent experience for all students. On Tuesday, October 31st, all of our classrooms:
- encourage all students to dress up in their costumes. Please note that students’ faces may not be covered with a mask, hood, or other item. Please do not allow your child to bring fake weapons into school to accompany his/her costume, and particularly violent themes should be avoided.
- will have Halloween themed activities. Activities will be teacher-directed and run throughout the day.
- will have classroom snacks sent into school on October 31st. The Head Room Parent will be coordinating this effort. Please keep food and drink to these four categories: something crunchy, something sweet, a healthy fruit, and water. Additionally, please be sensitive of allergies within classrooms. The snack time and the Halloween themed activities will take place at different times depending on students’ schedules.
We understand, and are happy that the children will receive a plethora of treats on Halloween night. Come Wednesday, the staff at Dale Street encourages healthy foods for student snack times to help promote optimal learning. Thank you in advance for your continued support.
