Updates and Homework for 9/29:

All Grades:
Attention all Middle School Parents!!! We need your help. The first Middle School dance of the year will be held this Friday, October 3. We would like to provide a concession stand with snacks & beverages that the students can purchase for a nominal fee. Proceeds raised will be used throughout the year to fund various Middle School activities/purchases.

We are looking for donations of baked goods (brownies, cookies, cupcakes, etc....), packaged snacks (chips, pretzels, etc...), candy, ice, pizza, bottled beverages--water, juice, soda (will be poured into cups). You may drop off your donations on Friday at the school by 5:30 p.m.

Feel free to contact Laurie Kosciuszek at kosciuszeks@comcast.net or 352-6173 if you have any further questions. Also, we could use one or two volunteers to help with set up. Let me know if you're interested!

Any & all donations are greatly appreciated. Thanks for your support.
