Our students are already showing excitement as the signs go up & the fair gets closer. We even had a 2nd grader kiss the book fair sign & say: “ I just love books”. These are good things! Come in, enjoy buying books, & help our school library re-new & improve. All proceeds will benefit our school.
Volunteer sign up sheets are outside the office or contact Joni: Inclinecos@yahoo.com

Arts & Crafts Day: Friday, December 5: We will have our Holiday Arts & Crafts Gift day. The 1st-8th grade students will work in multi-age groups of up to 10 students making a gift for the holidays.
There will be a meeting in the art class on Tuesday, November 4th after school to begin planning. I am looking for parents who would like to help by either doing a project with around 10 students or assisting with a group. If you can think of a project you would like to make that would be great. I will be collecting ideas as well. If you’ve already signed up I will be giving you a call or please feel free to email me. If you miss the meeting that’s ok just let me know how you can help.
Thank you. - Lori McDonald: lori@face-plant.com
Rewards Program: Wow! Fourth grade came out of nowhere to take the lead in the basketball game! Great job! Every time a class brings in 10 Campbell’s Labels For Education, they will get a basketball in the net (which is on the bulletin board). The class that makes the most baskets by Friday, November 7th will win a basketball for their class to use at recess. Since we now have basketball hoops at the new playground, a ball will come in handy! Please make sure you include the UPC Codes on your labels – they cannot be sent in without them! Here are the current standings:
4th grade – 6 baskets
1st grade – 5 baskets
3rd grade – 4 baskets
2nd grade – 3 baskets
6th grade (almost has a basket)
Thank you for sending in so many box tops this year! I just mailed them and we earned more than $275.00 in only 3 months!
Thank you for supporting our great school! -Jill Johnson: gljill1@msn.com
