Fall is in the air!

I know I always start off with a comment about the weather and I'd like to do something different... but can't do it on such a beautiful, crisp day as today! It's football/apple-picking/pumpkin-carving weather for sure! I love it!
  • Passport Book Sales begin next week. This is a great fundraiser for our school and an opportunity for savings to anyone who buys a book. I know our family always earns back what we spent on the book with our savings at Hy-Vee alone! Watch for the books in your child's backpack next week.
  • Early Dismissal on Wednesday, October 20. School will let out at 1:15 p.m.
  • It's the time of year that many think about ways to help the less fortunate. Due to budget cuts, The Salvation Army is unable to pay people bell ringers this year. They need volunteers to do this very important job. Contact Cindy Chapman at cynthia_chapman@usc.salvationarmy.org, 442-3229 x225.
  • Save the date: the PTA's next wellness event is November 4, 2010 at 6-8pm at Empire Roller Rink. Watch for more details!
