November 7-November 10

Hello!

We had a very busy, but fantastic week!  Thanks again to all of those that helped with the Halloween party, joined us for Literacy Night, and all of the wonderful Grandparents and friends that joined us for such a special day. 

With that, we have another busy week ahead.  Remember conferences are on Monday, Thursday, and Friday.  We also do not have school on Friday because of conferences.


One last very important reminder.  Please do not forget to vote on the referendum this Tuesday, November 8.

If you have questions, please refer to the official website and read up on the facts regarding the levy and bonds in question.
