VETERANS RECOGNITION DAY IS TUESDAY, NOV. 13
It’s one of the proudest things we can do is to honor our family members and friends who have served our country in USA military service.  We have extended invitations to all our families with veterans or active service members to join us for our 7:45 AM flag assembly so that we may honor them.  It’s wonderful for our children see real American heroes.  We encourage our vets and active military to wear items denoting their branch of service.  All are invited to attend a reception in their honor following the assembly, hosted by our PTA, and to visit the classroom of their child, grandchild, etc.

PTA PAJAMA NIGHT, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15
We are so excited for our annual Pajama Night where the staff will read their favorite books to the students. The PTA will have their association meeting at 6:00pm and the Pajama Night will start at 6:30pm.

LOST AND FOUND
Please have your students check the Lost and Found Area for any lost items since the beginning of the school year.  On Friday 11/16 all lost and found items will be donated to charity.  Thank you.
