Good Afternoon Tiger Families,
Just a quick reminder that there will not be school on Thursday and Friday this week to accommodate the Parent/Teacher Conferences. Conferences will be held Tuesday after school and on Thursday afternoon. If you do not already have a scheduled conference and would like one, please call your child's school office.
This is the LAST WEEK of Socktober 🧦
Help us finish strong and bring in socks for the The Marion Homeless Shelter! This shelter serves many Crawford County men, women and children in need and we need YOUR help to supply them for the cold season ahead.
Although the final "class totals" will be counted on Wednesday, please feel free to bring them in until the end of the week!
PUMPKIN-GRAMS 🎃
-- Starting Monday, October 23rd and through October 30th, students, teachers & families can order Pumpkin-Grams (with candy) for 50¢ each.
-- Students are able to purchase these to send to students their room or in other rooms. -- They will be sold in the lobby before school as well as during Parent /Teacher Conferences.
