Odds and Ends
* Scholastic Book Order: I sent home a book order for October. I forgot that this month we have a book fair at school, so if you would like to save your orders for our book fair, that is great! If you still want to order through the classroom order, they are due 10/21. Thank you!
* Weekly Email Reminders: Just a friendly reminder... the office staff will send out a weekly reminder email containing information about upcoming events and happenings here at school. Attached to this email is often the permission slips needed for the events. This is a great tool to use when looking for permission slips or information about school events. Thanks!
*Our picture packets should arrive on Tuesday, October 18th
Our retake day is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 3rd
UPCOMING EVENTS:

Have a beautiful weekend!
