R.E.D. (Remember Everyone Deployed) Friday - On Friday, November 10th, all students that bring in a non-perishable food item for the Jack Bannon Turkey Trot may wear red accessories with the uniform of the day. Examples of acceptable accessories include red socks, red neckties (for boys), red hairbands & bows (for girls). Please remember that these items must be worn with the uniform of the day. This is not a dress down day.
For students in grades PreK - 7, if a individual retake is being done, the original portrait package must be returned to the photographer. Special Note for Grade 8 - Lifetouch will bring necessary equipment to take retakes for any grade 8 student who wishes that. Please let Mrs. Williamson know if you wish to be included in that group. A student having a retake or make up individual photo may bring "Sunday Best" to change into for their photo but must wear their formal uniform for the group class photo.

Thanks to all that supported the 8th grade's fundraiser at Puerta Vallarta last week.
The fund raiser was a huge success. We also thank Mrs. Rodriguez for her support!
The weather has taken a turn toward autumnal temperatures. Please be sure your child(ren) have the appropriate outdoor attire and please encourage them to wear it. Unless the temperature falls below 20 degrees or the weather is wet or slippery, students do wait outside at morning arrival and do go outside for recess. Hats and gloves and warmer jackets make recess and waiting outside for the opening bell more fun. When snow arrives, students are encouraged to enjoy the snow but must have boots and snow gear to do so. Girls may wear uniform pants as part of their formal uniform. Girls who choose to wear the formal jumper or skirt may wear sweatpants or windpants beneath their jumper or skirt while outdoors BUT these must be removed while they are in the school building.
Thanks to all who supported the HSA Lyman Pie & Otis Spunkmeyer Cookie Dough Fundraiser. Pick up of pies and cookie dough will be on Friday, 11/17/17. If you can help sort and distribute pies and cookie dough, please use the Sign Up genius to volunteer - click here.
