Thursday: Curriculum Night
We are excited to see all of you at Curriculum Night this Thursday! Curriculum Night This is a chance to hear from our amazing teachers! Also, many parent coordinators who dedicate so much time, talent, and energy to making our school such a fantastic community will be in the gym sharing information and signing up volunteers. Free childcare will be available in the cafeteria for families who need it.
We have many new families who joined Charlemagne this year. Some of these families are not only new to our school, but also to Eugene and, in some cases, Oregon. Please see information below about how to help welcome these families into our community by serving as a liaison to a new family. It is also a great opportunity to make new friends!
We hope you will join us at the all-school play date and garden work party on Saturday morning from 10 until noon. This is another great opportunity to meet new families and also help prepare our fabulous garden for winter. Please see below for more information.
We are still looking to fill several important PTO positions, including Secretary, Esprit de Corps Co-Chair and eScrip coordinator. And, we forgot to mention one additional (and very exciting!) volunteer opportunity in last week’s eNews. We are looking for someone to chair (or co-chair) the Science Fair. The Science Fair is held each April and is a wonderful community event. Please let us know if you would be interested in learning more about what this role entails. Carey Norgaard has chaired the fair in the past and is willing to help the new chair(s) in planning this event. If you are interested in learning more about any of these opportunities please contact us at charlemagne.fox.hollow@gmail.com. We also invite you to join our first PTO meeting on Tuesday, October 15th. Child care will be available during the meeting.
Our annual Innisbrook Gift Wrap sale kicks off this Friday, September 20. Students will come home with details about the fundraiser and exciting prizes they can earn! Please help support your children in collecting orders.
Did you know there are several after school programs and activities offered at Charlemagne? Please see below for information about these enriching opportunities, some of which start this week.
Finally, please do not park in the VIP parking spots in the Charlemagne lot. The spots were auctioned off last spring and are reserved for the two auction winners. This is an important fundraiser for the school, so please respect the signs and do not park in these spots. Thank you for your cooperation.

Art and Music After School Classes
Artistree
Hello my name is Lucilla Butler. I have 20 years art teaching experience and I am introducing an exciting and innovative art class that will teach the fundamentals of both drawing and painting for 1st to 5th graders. We will experiment and play with different art materials, look at color and techniques from passed masters as well as go into nature and create images from what we see and feel around us. The classes will start after school on Tuesday, October 8th, the 5th week of school. They will run from 2:45 to 4:45 and cost $160 for 8 weeks. Flyers and registration forms will be available in the office. I can also e-mail or send one to you in the mail. You may contact me at lillartistree@outlook.com or 541-228-4821.
