 Principal's Message
Brrrr!! What happened? Are we going from summer to winter in one day? As you well know, our first quarter is rapidly coming to an end – like today! Thus, all grades are being evaluated for the first quarter. We look forward to discussing these with all parents next Thursday during parent/teacher conferences. If you have not already signed up, do so today! Our academic awards ceremony will also be held this coming Thursday at 8:15 am in the fellowship hall. Don’t forget there is no school on Friday October 19, as well as Thursday and Friday October 25-26. We are very excited about our fall festival this Sunday. Remember this is a required school day with lots of fun new activities this year for all ages. Remember, only you can prevent forest fires!

Coupons for your family and friends: Fall Festival is also an important fundraising day for our school. Each family should have received a coupon card for $2 off of the wristband price as well as an extra one or two to give to a friend. Please invite anyone you know who might enjoy this event!
Student Participation: Each student (parent must assist for 6th grade and under) will be required to help for 30 minutes with one of the action-in-learning stations. You should have received an email and a handout with the student schedule on it, or click here to view it.
Exhibits: We are still accepting vendors for exhibit tables, as well as donations for a silent auction. Help us, help you! Gain interest in your product while helping to fundraise.

Health Nugget - Health Hack for your Brain 
“Just like the other organs in your body, your brain requires certain nutrients to function properly. Whole, unrefined grains, such as brown rice, quinoa, and whole-grain cereals, provide energy to help you concentrate. Eating healthy fats found in pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, and walnuts are also good for overall brain health. To improve memory, choose foods with anthocyanins, including blueberries and other dark red and purple fruits and vegetables."
