Food Drive Totals
Our 4th Grade SALT set a goal to collect 4,500 lbs of food by this Friday, Nov. 4th. Our school collected….
4,045 pounds of food!
We didn’t quite make our goal, but we did manage to collect almost 1,000 pounds of food in ONE DAY! The team that collected the most food is Team Aquinas, which includes Mrs. Hamilton’s class, Mrs. Schmidt’s class, and Mrs. Taylor’s class. Team Aquinas wins a free dress day this Monday, Nov. 7th. Thank you to all our families who helped 4th grade fight hunger!

Book Fair is Coming!
Our school’s Scholastic book fair opens in one week! Families are invited to come shop on Saturday morning, November 12th form 9am-12pm. This is the perfect time to pick up stocking stuffers and Christmas gifts! The book fair will be open to students during the school day, with shopping hours extended to one hour after dismissal from Mon. the 14th thru Fri. the 18th.
To give your kids more freedom and cut down on cash at school, please consider creating an ewallet for your student! They are very convenient, and Mrs. Hattaway will be able to look up and apply your student’s allowance at the register when they make purchases. You may also shop online through Nov. 25th while continuing to support our school.
