HUSKY UPDATE

As always, it was another fantastic week to be a Homestead Husky! There is no school tomorrow, so we will welcome students back on Monday. SLC is hosting a costume parade Monday morning. Please make sure costumes are appropriate (no blood or weapons.) Masks can be worn during the parade only.

The fall carnival is tonight at Homestead from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door.

The Avalanche performed at Homestead during the Pep Rally and what a treat it was! Students rocked out and loved every minute. The Avalanche kicked off Red Ribbon Week with a bang! Thank you to Mrs. Johnston for securing the 11th Airborne Division Rock Band.

Red Ribbon Week poster contest winners were announced at the pep rally on Monday and given their prizes. We had over 45 entries in the poster contest and it was a tight race.

Monday Homestead students teamed up against drugs and dressed in jerseys and team gear.

Drugs couldn't find us on Tuesday because we were covered in camouflage.

Workout gear Wednesday was hit. We are healthy huskies and always drug free.

We put a cap on drugs on Thursday and the coolest hats were found in the halls of Homestead.

23 new members were welcomed into the Principal's 200 Club this morning for being responsible, respectful, safe, and having a positive attitude.

Permission slips will be sent home next week for crafting club which is hosted by Mrs. Lenoir and Ms. Branda. Details are listed below.

Students in 3rd and 4th grade were rhythm detectives this week. The mission, try and decode what Mrs. Johnston’s Halloween costume will be. Mrs. Johnston used black light pens to write rhythms all around the room. Students then used black lights to find the hidden rhythms that were scattered about the room and match to costume clues.

USO JBER is collecting candy to help fill Holiday bags for service members living in the dorms/barracks. Drop off all candy to Ms. Kasey in the office.

Basketball club starts next week for students in 3rd - 6th grade. Students play 3 on 3, have modified rules, and breakdown and learn the game of basketball. Practice will be held in the gym from 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM.

Coach Payne asks for a $5 donation for basketball club. The funds will help the PE department raise money for new equipment, technology, and guest presenters. Thank you for your support!

Volunteers are welcome. Please contact me if you can help at practices or the jamboree.
