GOONEY BIRD GREENE SUMMARY: Summer has come to a crashing halt in the little town of Watertower. The kids don't want to be back in school; they are listless and bored. Suddenly, the classroom door bursts open and there, wearing pajamas and cowboy boots, stands Gooney Bird Greene! The class is never the same again.  Gooney Bird casts herself as the hero in the most improbable, outlandish stories: how she arrived from China on a flying carpet, how she got a lovely pair of diamond earrings at the local palace, how she directed a symphony orchestra while driving through the center of town, and how her beloved cat, Catman, was consumed by a cow! Are these stories really true? Of course they are because, as Gooney Bird proudly proclaims, she only tells "absolutely true stories!" In blending funny and memorable characters with colorful details and her distinctive flair for suspense, Gooney Bird awakens the students' imaginations. They come to realize their lives are as unique as Gooney Bird's and that they, too, can cast themselves as the heroes in their own true tales of discovery and adventure.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Buy Recycled

To District 69 Parents, Guardians, Students and Staff,

This is to remind everybody of our district ecology and recycling collections! All donations and contributions are welcome!

Each school collects the following electronic items in their main offices (we receive money in return for these):

• Cell Phones
• Digital Cameras
• Laptops
• iPods/MP3 Players
• GPS Devices

Each school collects the following items near their main offices or in their cafeterias:

• Pull Tabs (from aluminum cans)
• Plastic Rings (from multi-pack items)
• Gym Shoes (in the spring, exact dates to be announced)
• Book Barrel (new or gently-used books/magazines to be sold in the spring to students, for a few cents each)
• Laser and Inkjet Cartridges (for Fund 69)
• Unused Greeting Cards

At Edison only:

• Aluminum Cans
• Share Our Supplies -- SOS (new or gently-used supplies distributed to those in need at the discretion of the principal and/or teachers)

Please remember that even the smallest thing you do has great impact! With the upcoming fall and winter holidays nearly upon us, we are increasingly thinking of others. You can find many ideas at the library or on the Internet for creating gifts by reusing products from your own homes. You can help various charities by donating to those organizations which send trucks to your neighborhoods – our “old” things can be just what somebody else might need. Please don't forget our local food pantries, and those on the east coast affected by Hurricane Sandy. Finally, please remember our servicemen and servicewomen and their families at this time and throughout the year.

Call Eileen S. Rapoport (PTO Ecology Committee, District Calendar) with any questions or suggestions. Thank you for your help and enjoy your holidays!

Should you wish to donate a pie, please use the attached form with cash or check and turn it in to the school office by Friday, November 9th. The Pantry requests we donate either apple or pumpkin pie only. You can also place a pie order with your regular online order. Please keep in mind that you may add on to your online order at ANY TIME BEFORE 11 PM on November 12th. If you do this, please email me and let me know it's a donation.

You do NOT have to come to the sale if you are donating ONLY and are pre-paid. We will take all the pies to the Pantry after the sale.

The PTO kicked off our annual gift wrap fall fundraiser on Friday, October 5th. Packets went home with students and hopefully you have all had a chance to look over the brochures and the exciting products that are available. This is PTO's biggest fundraiser of the year. The success of this fundraiser has enabled the PTO to provide many programs to enhance the educational experience of the students here at District 69. Last year, with your help, we raised $15,000! With this money we were able to provide each school with exciting programs and support. To name a few...

There are prize incentives for the students and teachers. The seller with the most items in EACH school will win an iPad. Family and Friends can make a donation to the school instead of purchasing product by simply entering code #9901 on the order form. The unit price is $10. Each unit will count as 1 unit toward the student prize program. A straight donation can also be made out to District 69 PTO.

We ask for your support so that we can continue to do great things for the students in District 69 Schools.

Orders are due Monday, October 22nd. We have extended this date to accommodate our very busy families. Thank you for your support, and be safe while selling! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

Happy Selling,

Patty O'Malley
