- On Friday at 9:30 Fulbright 7+ will face off vs. Tetzlaff 7+ in a Root Off (square roots). It will be a battle of epic proportions! Stop by if you have a moment.
- So Mother Nature put a damper on our 1st Annual Staff Tailgate. We'll try again during winter sports season for something else. If anybody has any ideas, please, share.

Combined Choir and Band Rehearsals
Mrs. Conrad, in preparation for their fall Choir concert, will be combining her 7th grade Choirs on Thursday, October 11, from 8:00-8:34. On Tuesday, October 16, 7th grade 4th hour Choir will rehearse with 5th hour Choir during 5th hour. If RATS teachers want these students to come to their 4th hour that day, just let Carole know.
We are grateful to have successful Band and Choir programs and that is due to the flexibility of everyone involved. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this busy time for these two programs.

What I'm Reading: Toughness, Jay Bilas
Let's get to Thanksgiving and be intentional about making meaningful connections with students and staff before that time. When you are having a conversation with a member of TEAM LMS, student or staff, that is the most conversation you are going to have that day, until the next one.
