BOOK FAIR!
September 23rd-27th
Book Fair is a great way to kick off the school year! The colorful and fun displays get kids excited about reading and about buying books. Our goal each year is to make sure ALL of our families can enjoy Book Fair by asking those who can to share the love!
Each year we set up a fundraising page where families can ask for assistance with the Book Fair. This year the response has been amazing! This is the first announcement in the Scoop and we are already at 41% of our goal at the time of publication! The ASK form to request funds for your child to select a book is sent to our Student Services Manager who will help set your student up with a discreet payment method to use on the day their class visits the fair.

Volunteer Opportunities!
Lost & Found
Get into Adventure!
We are looking for 2 or more volunteers to assist with the Lost and Found. We need one person who is interested in organizing the closet and making sure it stays tidy.
We need another volunteer who is willing to launder and sort the clothes at the end of the month for donation.
If you’re interested in joining the Lost and Found Crew, email Deidre for details!
We’re looking for volunteers to support the Adventure Program. Throughout the school year there are a variety of opportunities to get involved ranging from driving with Ski and Snowboard Club to being a Mountain Bike Coach.
All year we are looking for parent volunteers on Monday mornings, 9am - 12pm, to help with our climbing wall and ropes course. These volunteers help belay and guide our students through these high impact activities to support our students’ growth. We also need assistance with our Cans for Climbing program. When our trailer is full, we need help driving it to our local metal buyers. This volunteer option could be a one time help or a regular engagement. Email Ethan for details!
Do you use aluminum cans in life? Do you want to help support our Adventure Program? If the answer is yes to both then we’re looking for you. Our Cans for Climbing program is a major fundraiser for Evergreen’s Adventure Program that is easy to participate in. All you need to do is drop off any aluminum cans you have in the Cans for Climbing Trailer located right by our buses.
As we are all settling into the school year, it feels like the perfect time to establish routines that set your child up for success! Here are some tips to help your family build healthy back-to-school habits:
Consistent Bedtime: Healthy sleep habits Ensure your child gets enough sleep by sticking to a regular bedtime and creating a consistent bedtime routine. A well-rested student is more focused and ready to learn.
Nutritious Meals: Start the day with a balanced breakfast and pack healthy snacks and lunches. Good nutrition fuels learning and keeps energy levels steady. We have a breakfast kiosk by the entrance to school, let your child know when they can use this service. Breakfast is $3/serving, or free if you are part of the Free/Reduced Price Lunch Program.
Morning Routine: The secret to a stress-free morning routine is that your morning routine actually starts the night before, with organizing school supplies and laying out clothes the night before. This helps your child start the day calmly and on time. A consistent morning routine is especially important for kids who learn and think differently, and Understood.org lists several additional suggestions for a smooth morning.
After-School Routine: Establish a routine for after school, including time for relaxation, homework, and extracurricular activities. This balance helps your child unwind while still staying on track with their responsibilities.
Physical Activity: Encourage daily exercise, whether it's a family walk, sports, or playtime. Physical activity boosts mood and brain function, among other important benefits.
Screen Time Balance: Monitor screen time and ensure your child has enough time for homework, physical activity, and rest. While it may not seem to be directly related, a healthy screen time routine is a crucial part of ensuring that we are setting our students up for success.
We will be sharing more on these topics and many others throughout the school year, but taking a few simple steps to enhance your family’s routines can make a big difference in your child's academic performance and overall well-being. Let’s make this school year the best one yet!

Thank You!
Many thanks to the crew of first year students from Warren Wilson College, who spent their Monday on the grounds of Evergreen, “as part of the curriculum for their First Year Seminars–community engaged courses that kick off with Service Day and continue throughout the semester focusing on the same cause or project.”
We also frequently have Warren Wilson students in to observe and assist in the classroom. We really value the partnership we have with this unique local college.
