Dear Families,

We hope you are enjoying the long weekend!

This year's Fall Book Fair was a huge success! Students loved the theme and the book selection! A big thank you to our PTO, family volunteers, and, of course, to Dr. Dimond for leading the fair! Also, a sincere thank you to our staff for those who were able to purchase from the teacher wish bins - lots of great books being added to our classroom libraries!

Please check out the reminder about School Picture Day, information for Spirit Day on 10/31, the District's Strategic Plan Focus Groups, and several important PTO updates.

Enjoy the beautiful weather!

Sincerely,

Dr. Paul Madden, Principal
