Please continue praying for Rhyan Loos, her family and the medical team. They need all of our prayers. We will pray a lot in class for Rhyan.

Thank you for participating at the McTeacher Night this past Tuesday.

Hopefully you found the Read-a-Thon packet in your child’s folder on Friday. The Theme is “Reading is my Superpower!” The goal is for each family to reach a $130.00 donation. Each family who reaches the $130.00 donation will have their name put into a raffle for 4 different great prizes.

The class in each grade level with the highest participation rate in meeting the family goal of donating $130.00 will win a Class Kona Ice Party! No pressure, but my class won this last year! The kids were so excited to get a Kona Ice during school!

Wednesday, October 14 is a Super Hero or favorite literary character dress-up day for the students. Friday, October 16^th- K-5^th grade Family Literacy Night 5:00pm-7:00pm. Family Literacy Night is always a fun event for our school families.

I will send the family album home each day with a different student. The child will need to bring the photo album back to class the next day.
