We have begun presales for Halloween tattoos, which will be distributed on Halloween. This is a fundraiser for the Adopt-a-Family program. Students may buy as many as they would like ($1 each), but may only have two applied at school. The rest will be sent home in an envelope with your child.

Please make sure that your child’s jackets and sweatshirts are labeled with their names, and please label lunch boxes as well.

Please encourage your child to not trade food with others, and to bring home any uneaten food, rather than throw it away here at school.

THE WEEK AHEAD:

Religion: We finish Chapter 5 this week and begin chapter 6, which focuses on seeking forgiveness.
