Holiday Shop
This year the Holiday Shop will be open Friday, Dec. 6th from 4-8 pm and Saturday, Dec. 7 from 10 am - 3 pm in the Spencer Media Center. It is an amazing tradition that allows children to shop for affordable gifts for their loved ones. They learn that giving is better than receiving and learn to budget. Please plan to shop and support us if possible. Information packets containing a flyer, a letter and a budget planning envelope were put in teachers' mailboxes yesterday. We are in desperate need of volunteers to help the kids shop and gift wrap. We simply cannot run the shop without you. Please sign up to help at the shop.

Lost & Found
The lost & found in the multi-purpose room is overflowing with items. Please stop by the school to check for any missing items. Soon, all unclaimed items will be donated.
Food Drive
The annual food drive benefiting Bountiful Harvest runs through Tuesday, Nov. 26. Thank you for the generous donations so far! If you still have items to send in, please label them with your child's grade. Canned meat and pasta counts for double points towards the contest between grades. The winning grade will be announced the Monday after Thanksgiving break and they win free Slurpee coupons and they will present our donation check to a Bountiful Harvest representative.
