November is here already! The second grade classes at McClure will be participating in a food drive this year. Mrs. Palmer and Mrs. Domme decided on some friendly competition between the classes. The whole school is welcomed to participate and show how they can be good citizens by donating non-perishable food items now until November 18. You can drop off your donation to the Hall of Heroes. There will be boxes on the stage with the class names on them.

We will be donating the food to the Rescue Mission to help families feed their loved ones this holiday season. The second grade team would like to thank you in advance for your participation.

During cold weather, please make sure your child comes to school with a warm coat, hat, and gloves. Even if we stay inside, an emergency that would cause us to evacuate the building in cold weather would leave students who have come without a warm coat and are in danger of getting cold. In Topeka Public Schools, we believe that fresh air and exercise are good for the body and the mind. While students may not stay outside for an entire play period, if the wind chill index and temperature are within reason, students will go outside, if only to “run off a little excess energy.” If for medical reasons, your child is restricted from this play, a note

should be sent. If the restricted period is for more than one or two days, a note should be sent from the physician.

School bus drivers begin at $16-20 per hour, plus a signing bonus and the opportunity to receive Topeka Public Schools Premium Retention Pay.

Schedule a virtual interview by completing this short form. We look forward to seeing you!
