ALEX’S LEMONADE

Thank you to all families who participated in the October fundraiser for Alex's Lemonade Stand. 

We raised $197.70 for this important cause.  Watch for more ways to contribute after Christmas.

Remember, you can find out more information at www.alexslemonade.org.

The National Honor Society students have been a great help to this project.  We appreciate everyone’s support.

PAT NEWS

Parents as Teachers families have been very busy.  In October we had a “Fall Fun” group meeting and the children made some wonderful crafts.  In November we partnered up with the Elementary and got involved with Reading Week.  Each child had a packet to work on and they received prizes at the end of the week for doing the activities and reading.  What a great time we had!  On December 15th we will be having “Santa’s Workshop” from 6:00-7:30 p.m.  Santa will be stopping by to visit the children.  I will be sending registration forms in a few weeks.

If you would like to enroll your child in Parents as Teachers or would like more information, please contact me at school, 660-323-5272 ext. 33.

TIGER PRIDE PROGRAM NEWS

We have enjoyed a beautiful fall with lots of time on the playground!  Although there is still some fall left to enjoy, it is time to remind families of procedures should the weather become inclement.  If school is cancelled or dismissed early, Tiger Pride will not be held.  In case of early dismissals, Mrs. Kerby will make calls to families to determine plans for the children who were scheduled to attend after-school.  For information about cancellations and early-dismissals, check with the school's web site, KTVO television, KHQA television, WGEM television, KIRX radio, KTUF radio, KRXL radio, KRES radio of Moberly, KMEM radio of Memphis, and KZBK radio of Brookfield.
