Students Practice Fire Safety Techniques
Members of the Port Lavaca Fire Department and the Port O’Connor Volunteer Fire Department presented fire safety information to the students on October 4th. Sparky the fire dog was on hand to reinforce the importance of having a family meeting place and to remind the kids not to play with matches. The students also got to look at the POC fire truck and handle the fire hose. Thomas Hawes said, “Tell the firemen, the kids had a very good time”.
Children hug Sparky the Fire Dog.
Halloween Carnival
Get ready for a spooky good time on Saturday, October 29th. The Halloween Carnival is fast approaching so get your costumes ready. The costume contest is open to everyone (adults too) and begins promptly at 4:00 in the school gym. There are also lots of fun Games for the kids, tasty food including BBQ sandwiches, hotdogs and more. You can show your creativity by entering a pumpkin in the Pumpkin Carving Contest. To enter, just bring your pumpkin to the school auditorium by 3:45pm the day of the Carnival.
If you like scary thrills, take a walk through the Haunted House which opens in the gym immediately following the costume contest. If you like less haunting activities, you can try your luck at the Cake Walk.
The PTO officers have received some great prizes from many of the local vendors for this years’ Raffle. Tickets can be purchased at the school or from any PTO representative. Ticket cost is $5 for 6 tickets. That’s only five dollars for six chances to win some fantastic prizes. The raffle begins at 6:30 pm and you do not have to be present to win.
For more information about the carnival you can call the school (361) 983-2341 or got to the PTO page on Facebook www.facebook.com/pocpto .
Don’t Forget to Save Boxtops
Don’t forget to snip those box tops off your food labels and bring them to school. Each box top is usually worth about 10 cents and those dimes add up! Thank you Mary Covarrubias for handling our box top program. She trims them, checks the dates and sends them in for our school.
