GMEF Auction

We thank GMEF for the experiences we have enjoyed this fall. The students enjoyed the movie, Wild Robot and the play at RCTC, Still Life with Iris. We have created a one of a kind piece of art for our donation to the GMEF Auction. The Auction is Saturday, November 23 at the Meyerhofer Shop. Silent Auction is from 4-6 and the Live Auction starts at 7 PM. All are welcome.

Reminders

* As the weather gets colder students will be needed warmer coats, hats and mittens or gloves. The playground is normally very windy so layers are good too.

Don't forget to refill your child's snack supply.
