In addition, please make sure you clearly label your child's coats, hats, and gloves. Our lost and found tends to get fairly large this time of year. Thank you and enjoy the snow!

Holiday Shopping Trip - Money Collection
Shopping Date: Tuesday, December 18 beginning at 8:00 AM
For several years, students and families at Banner have generously donated money towards the purchase of toys for families needing assistance. This year we shall once again collect money to purchase toys for children in our community. From November 26 through December 18, money will be collected for this project. On Tuesday, December 18, the entire Banner school will visit local stores and shop for toys using the money collected, and then the students will deliver the toys to the Children’s Home. Our goal is to raise $5,000 for this great cause (last year we collected just over $6,000).
If you wish to donate money, please send your contribution to your child’s classroom teacher between November 26 and December 18. It would also be helpful to send the money in an envelope marked with “Holiday Collection.” Checks can be made out to Banner Elementary.
Specific information regarding this all school activity will be provided closer to the trip. All students will be included in the activity whether or not they wish to participate in the voluntary contribution of money.

DHS Smart Cookies
The Dunlap High School Life Skills class will once again be coming to schools to sell fresh cookies. There is one cookie in a bag and it sells for $.50. The cookies come in chocolate chip and M&M. This program at DHS teaches the students the skills they will need to live as independently as possible and be contributing members of their communities. The cookie business provides an opportunity to practice both vocational and social skills in a real life setting. The proceeds from the sales go towards buying groceries to use for weekly cooking lessons and traveling to different places to learn how to navigate and access the community.
Cookies for Sale at Banner on Friday, December 7 at 1:30 PM. Cost will be $.50 for 1 large cookie, chocolate chip or M&M.
