Thank you, thank you, and THANK YOU to everyone who helped make our Fall Festival a wonderful success! The follow-up Fall Festival meeting has been postponed due to the flooding. All extra energy, and some that we didn't know we had, went into cleanup, storage, late nights, and busy weekends. Keep an eye out for the new meeting date and time and put your ideas in a mental ziplock and keep them fresh!

You have likely received your S.H.A.R.E.S. card in your child's backpack. Anytime you shop at one of the stores listed on the card, 3% of your purchase comes back to our school. If you need an extra card for a friend or family member, feel free to pick one up from the office.

It's the little things that add up to big things and we thank YOU for all the little things you do!!!

Welcome back to school!

It's hard to believe we've been back in school for 14 days! So much has been done. A very big THANK YOU to all of the parents who took time out of their busy schedule to come to our first Fall Festival meeting. We hope to see everyone again at our next meeting on September 16 at 6:30pm.

Thank you to all who attended the Back-2-School BBQ. A great time was had by all. Thank you to all that lent a helping hand.

Just a few reminders-

Our Fall Fundraiser is quickly coming to an end. All forms and money are due on September 15th. If you can lend a helping hand on Fridays for Hot Lunch from 11-12pm please let the office know.

We hope to see all of you at our annual Fall Festival on October 10th!

Oops!  I posted this on Mrs. Tesmer's page last week.  Here it is in its rightful place. 

WOW! What a crazy-BUT FUN!-week this has been! Thank you, Student Council, for the wonderful days that you planned this week. I never thought that I would see so many different teams together in one place wihtout any arguments. Twin day was my favorite. Although I didn't ask anyone to be my twin, it was fun trying to figure out who was whose twin. (Great job, Rebecca and Mrs. Mickel!)

PTF would like to take this moment and give a very big and heartfelt THANK YOU to all of the wonderful parents who lent us a helping hand in our health and safety fair. We know a few of them said that they, "didn't do that much," but in reality you did! PTF wants you all to remember that even if it is only 15 minutes of help or doing a little something at home for us or a teacher that it is a GREAT BIG help. 

This was our second Health and Safety Fair and I would like to think it was a lot of fun. I really do think that the kids enjoyed the Fire Department and the ASPCA visit. Susie, a very well trained dog, was here and I actually think she upstaged the firemen. We will get back to you on that. 

We do hope that you take a moment to review the information that your kids brought home. There is was some great information given out like homework helping tips, anger management, dealing with divorce and separation, and brushing tips. We have even learned that we should all have an animal emergency kit for our animals. If nothing else, I hope that all this information along with the kids talking to you about their day has opened another line of communication between you and your child(ren). Take the opportunity and enjoy the moment!

Keep an eye out for more upcoming events! Here are just a few things to look out for:

*Spring Fundraiser
*Open House
*Hot Dog Hoe Down
*Teacher Appreciation
*Field Day
*Summer Vacation-Gocha! ;-)

Enjoy your weekend and check back soon!
