Dear Families,
I want to sincerely thank our PTA, and all the volunteers, and spectators in the cheering section who helped make our Lappin' with the Lions event such a big success. The weather held out, the students did a great job and had lots of fun participating as a whole grade level. Together, our students ran 733.3 miles, and raised over $10,000 for our school. None of that would be possible without our dedicated families. Your support means the world to us! Thank you!
Yours in education,
Bridget Mowbray
WORLD DAY OF BULLYING PREVENTION
As previously shared, today is the World Day of Bullying Prevention! On this day students, schools, and communities all over the world go BLUE together against bullying. One way to prevent bullying is to be an upstander! You may be wondering what an upstander is... While a bystander is someone who sees someone being unkind and doesn't know what to do or doesn't do anything, an upstander is someone who stands up for others! There are many ways to be an upstander including being a buddy, speaking out, and telling an adult.

RETAKE/ABSENTEE PICTURE DAY
Absentee Picture day is scheduled for Oct 19th.
If your child has not had a picture taken already, it will be taken then. Ordering information will be given out at the time of pictures.
If a picture was already taken, but a retake is needed, please let your child's teacher know so they can be sent for pictures. Please return the original picture package to the photographer at the time of pictures. The same package will be ordered with the new image. New packages will not be received unless the original package is returned.
