From the Principal
Dear Cutler Families,
Yesterday students in 5th grade and Kindergarten participated in a Buddies activity where they decorated bags that will be used at the Food Pantry for food distribution. It was a wonderful, community activity.
Also, please know that we provide supervision in the mornings on the playground starting at 8:15. Please drop your child off no earlier than 8:15.
Wishing you all a wonderful long weekend!

School Directory
An email was sent earlier today with an attachment for this year's School Directory. We thank the committee for all their work in putting together this valuable resource.
From the committee: In an effort to be more environmentally conscious, we are only distributing a PDF copy of the elementary directory across the 3 schools this year. It is the same directory we have used in previous years, and once downloaded is searchable by name/keyword. While we have used both the PDF and hard copy in the past, we've chosen to move to the PDF version this year.
If you find that you need a hard copy, please email friendsofcutler@gmail.com by 11/30 and we can work to get it printed for you. However, if a hard copy is not absolutely necessary, we encourage families to use the PDF version and help us in our efforts to save paper.
Thank you!
Allie Moffett & Marie Hersey
Directory Committee

As above, please review your child's health record in Aspen! The nurses use this information to treat students and provide them with care, so it is essential that all information is accurate and up-to-date.
Cutler Staff Snack Cart: As we head into the busy holiday season, the Friends of Cutler hopes to show our thanks to the Cutler faculty and staff with a Thanksgiving themed snack cart on Wednesday, November 23rd. Cutler Families, it would be appreciated if you could contribute to this small gesture of gratitude. Please take a moment to review the items we are requesting!
Donations can be dropped off at 212 Asbury Street in South Hamilton leading up to the 23rd. If it's easier, feel free to drop at the school or send in with your student(s) on the 23rd. Just be sure to label your donation "Teacher's Snack Cart."
In addition to the snack cart, we would love for students to show their gratitude through a small gesture of their own! Please have your child(ren) make signs or pictures of appreciation that will be used to decorate the Cutler Staff lunchroom. These signs should be on 8.5 x 11 paper and should thank the entire staff, not just their teacher. Signs can also be dropped at 212 Asbury Street leading up to the 23rd of November.
