THANKFUL FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS, VETS & SUPPORTERS! We were so happy to host our annual Thanksgiving meal this week, and our students especially enjoyed the interaction with our community! A big shout out to Bryan Evers, Cindy Lepper, Marie Massman, & Betty Burnett for the scrumptious meal on Thursday. They prepared all week long! We also want to recognize the contribution of Mr. Vandike & the 7th & 8th graders, who not only hosted the meal, but set up & broke down tables & chairs & decorated for our meal. What a great bunch of young people! We are truly blessed!

SANTA STORE: We are asking for new or gently used items to use as gifts for our Santa Store on December 17th.  We especially could use gifts appropriate for men & teenage boys. Also needed are large & medium sized gift bags and large shopping bags for students to bring their gifts home in (these bags don’t’ need to be decorative – just for transport). Please send in donations you may have. Also, if you have time to spare on Dec. 17th, we could use a few more helper elves. Please let us know if you would be able to spend some time with us – fun is guaranteed! Ho! Ho! Ho!

LEFTOVER HALLOWEEN CANDY: If you don’t know what to do with all that candy your kids collected over Halloween, you can send it our way! The school could use it for treats. Thanks!

SCHOOL WEAR ORDERS CLOSE TOMORROW - SATURDAY! School dress code shirts, quarter zips and spirit shirts may be ordered through tomorrow, November 15th with orders arriving by the first week of December for Christmas.
