School photos were sent home yesterday. If you did not place an order on picture day, you should still have received a paper directing you to a site where you can still order them if you choose. If you are not happy with your current photos or missed that day, picture retakes are Wed. Oct 18th.
We know you're anxious to get school photos in your hands. We are too. Stay patient as we hope to have them late next week.
The October newsletter is ready and waiting! Please take a peak to see what we've been up to and what's coming up.

Uh-oh, spaghetti-O! Mrs. H (and other teachers) have to eat their words and get spaghettied. Our lions sold enough tickets and they will get to spaghetti the principal. The kitchen needs to get the water boiling because these kids are ready to get messy! Next week, we'll reveal the exact amount of moolah these lions brought in!
Den C worked on persisting through challenges as well as controlling impulsivity when they did the speedwalk challange. If you have a learner in 2B, 3K, 4K, or 5M, ask them about speekwalking in the Olympics!!!
