Other Notes-
School masses next week will be on Tuesday and Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. Please join us if you can. Collections from school masses in September go to the Adopt-a-Student Fund.
We are on a mission to replace the long, heavy tables that we use in the school gym with more lightweight ones, so they are easier to set up and move around. If you are interested in helping with this project, tables are $100 each and we have around 20 to replace. Gifts of $25, $50, $75, $100 or more to the table fund GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
We are partnering with Smoky Valley Virtual School so our students can utilize more programs on IXL. If you haven't done so already, please provide the information needed that was sent by e-mail.
As part of our School Accreditation Process, families will be asked to participate in a survey in October. Please be sure to read the informational letter from Superintendent Andrews that is coming home today. Your input helps us make important decision for improving our school.
Please see dates below for Preschool - Grade 2 Field Trips. Drivers will be needed. Contact Principal Whitehair for details about becoming certified to drive students.
