....... CCDS INFORMER
	Halloween – and don’t the children love Halloween! Because Halloween falls on Sunday this year, we are going to shift gears a bit and combine our Harvest Festival Family Social with the school Halloween celebration from 5:30 - 7:30 this Friday the 29th. The 6th grade parents, led by Kathy Kennelly and our own CCDS party mom, Colleen Moser, have organized an evening of fun for all ages. By now you have seen the flyers and information in the Informer, so please get those RSVPs and checks in to help the 5th grade parents know how much food to order and the quantity of game supplies to purchase. The following Friday, November 5th, marks the date of the Golf Tournament. This is another fun, fun evening, but one with a very important purpose. If you have not already done so, get those golf and/or dinner reservations handed in right away. To make the week even more interesting on Monday, November 1st, through Wednesday November 3rd, CCDS will be on a half-day schedule dismissing at 12:00. The afternoon time will be used for Parent Teacher Conferences. Report cards will handed out during the conference. Conference time is a great time for sharing information from home that might have an impact on your child’s time at school. So bring your thoughts and questions to the conference, I always found conferences an enjoyable time for parents and teachers to share information and discover the best ways to help our CCDS students achieve to their full potential. It is also important to remember that we are not only discussing what students are learning, but also how they are interacting with one another. The consistent message must always be to do your best, and to do it in a kind and loving manner towards those around you. Happy Halloween!!

	This year the Sparks Program is being fully implemented for the PE curriculum kindergarten through 6th grade. This program was developed at San Diego State and is used throughout San Diego Schools including Coronado Village School. The program has three important parts. Two of those parts are related to the structure of each lesson. The lessons begin with warm up activities and then move into the second phase of playing a game that teaches skills, good sportsmanship and teamwork. The third part of the program is called My Personnel Best. About once every six to eight weeks, each student runs through a series of skills such as pull-ups, sit ups etc. The goal is to beat their own last assessment, not their neighbor’s scores. The program is designed to build each child’s strength and fitness. (Of course they can always practice at home too.) Mrs. Duryea has gone through the Sparks training, and she spent the first three PE periods introducing the program to the students. Mrs. Duryea is starting her thirteenth year at CCDS. With her experience, training, and enthusiasm this should be a great year for PE and the kids!

	........ VIRTUE FOR OCTOBER IS FAITH
	Spiritual Nurture The theme for this week is faith in God when times are tough; Faith in God to take care of those we love, even when they die. “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” John 11:40. Give us grace, O God, so to follow your blessed saints in virtuous an godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
