I know September has been very busy so far as everyone gets adjusted to the new school year. Right around the corner is our (casual) first Barn Bash, Friday, September 26th at Ironwood Golf Course from 6-11 p.m to support a new gym. While the gym is at the Primary School, our Intermediate students also use the facility so we do appreciate your support! We have been getting inquiries on sponsorships and on the Barn Bash.

For our $100-$300 metal art sponsorships, please see the information that Mr. Russ sent out in an email on September 10th.

For business and corporate sponsorships, please contact Cathy James at cathyjames59@aol.com. We have some exciting opportunities to give your business exposure while supporting our children! These range from $1,000 to $6,000.

The Registration Form for our Barn Bash, which is sure to be fun, is also found in Mr. Russ' September 10th email. We'll begin at 6:00 at Ironwood. It's casual attire for our dinner, raffle, Comedy Sportz show and DJ entertainment.

As the school year moves along, response to intervention groups will be formed. Response to intervention is a time in your child's day where reading, specifically, is the focus of support for your child. If your student is in a targeted group, you will be receiving a letter from the classroom teacher and me regarding your child's placement. If you have any concerns or questions about response to intervention, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Homecoming will be Friday, October 3rd with the game vs Waukesha North starting at 7:00 pm. Gates and tickets sales will open at 5:30 pm.

The change this year is that the parade is being moved to Sunday, September 28 at 4:30 pm starting at Church Street in Hartland and moving through Capitol Drive and North Avenue to the Arrowhead Stadium. There we will hold a staff vs Arrowhead student flag football game, and have a bonfire, food vendors and music until 9:00 pm that the entire community is welcome to come be apart of. Changing the parade date allows this to be a community affair and our football players will even get to be in the parade!

Sunday, September 28

• Homecoming Parade at 4:30--start on Church Street
• Staff vs. Student Football Game at 6:00--Football Stadium
  
• Bonfire at 7:00--Freshmen Softball Fields
