A Note From Mrs. Garrison
Thank you to all of the parents who came to the Storybook Parade. It's such a busy time of year and we appreciate you always supporting your children in our school activities!
Please mark your calendar for the Cookie Dough Fundraiser Delivery Date, October 17th from 4-6:30. All items must be picked up. Please send a relative, family friend or neighbor to pick up items if you aren’t able to do so. Pick up is in the Gym, so feel free to pull up to the back doors. All items not picked up will be donated.
We are cheering on the Astros with a spirit day in each round of the play offs until they win the World Series! Our next spirit day is Tuesday, October 15th. Wear your Astros shirts and ball caps.
There is no school on Monday, October 14th. Enjoy the long weekend.
GO ASTROS!
