The temperatures have fallen a bit and some of that traditional rainy fall weather has already set in. With all of that rain come more indoor recess opportunities. Just a reminder to all of you Math, Rotary and Lunch Buddies that visits during indoor recess are the only times that we would like you to be in the IMC to eat lunch and visit with your buddies. Please make sure that all other times you are meeting in the classroom with your Polk kid.     We have had a busy month in August with some field trips, lots of new kids starting here at Polk and our extremely successful (as always) Polk PTA Carnival that was held on Friday August 27th. We had many Rotary folks there, with special thanks to Richard Pankey for building us a brand new fish pond! I hear from my regular workers that it is a major improvement over the gym mats used in past years!   September will be a short month for us since we’ll be going on intercession for the last two weeks. Until then, we’ll be attempting to cram as much into the month as we are able. As usual, here is a list of upcoming important events, dates and days off that you’ll need to mark on your calendars to ensure you don’t show up when no one is here.   Thanks for all you do here at Polk Elementary School!   September 1                          Early Dismissal                      1:30 pm September 3                          Rotary Breakfast @ Polk     7:00 am September 6                          Labor Day Observed            NO SCHOOL September 7                          PTA Meeting                         5:00 pm Art Room September 14                        4th/5th to Hoover Museum             ALL DAY – NO LUNCH BUDDY VISITS September 15                        Early Dismissal                     1:30 pm September 17                        Polk Pride Day!
