🔥🚒 It’s Fire Prevention Week! (10/5–10/11) 🔥

Here are a few safety reminders:
✅ Spot fire hazards — unplug unused appliances and keep flammables away from heat.
🚪 Know your escape routes — use stairs, not elevators.
🧰 Have an emergency kit ready with essentials like a flashlight, mask, and water.
💨 Stay low if there’s smoke and cover your mouth with a damp cloth.
👨🚒 Trust the firefighters and follow their instructions!
Let’s keep our families and community safe, Lake Mathews! ❤️

🌌⚔️ Penny Wars: The Force of FUNdraising! ⚔️🌌
The galactic battle begins next week, Bobcats… and the 6th Grade has embraced the Dark Side! 😈🔥
Here’s how the Penny Wars will play out:
✨ Pennies = The Light Side ✨
Drop pennies into your OWN class’s jar to earn points and strengthen your Jedi squadron.
🌑 Silver Coins (nickels, dimes, quarters) = The Dark Side’s Weapon 🌑
Place these in OTHER classes’ jars — they SUBTRACT points! Sneaky sabotage, this is. 😏
💵 Dollar Bills = Jedi Power Boosts 💵
Add dollars to your OWN class’s jar to gain BIG points and push your squadron toward victory!
The 6th Grade, strong in the Dark Side, will be plotting sabotage across the galaxy. Can the younger Padawans unite to overcome their power? Or will the Dark Side rise to claim victory? 🏆
Only one class will emerge as Penny Wars Champion of Lake Mathews Elementary — winning eternal bragging rights AND a special galactic prize. 🎉
So, Rebels, rally your troops! Dig into couch cushions, piggy banks, and secret stashes — every coin and dollar counts in this ultimate battle of light vs. dark. 🐾
May the pennies (and the Force) be with you. ✨
