Fall Break will be on October 18 and 19 for this school year! Only two more weeks of school and then we will be able to enjoy those few extra days to spend with family and friends. Please know that grades for the first 9 weeks also end Friday, October 15th. This is the Friday before Fall Break. You may check your childs' grades online. Don't hesitate to call or e-mail your child's teacher if you have any questions or concerns. We will be glad to talk with you!

Just Say No Poster Contest

5th grade students will have the opportunity to participate in a Just Say No poster contest. In order to participate, your child will need a sheet of 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of white card stock. Poster card stock of this size is available for purchase at the local Dollar Stores. The posters will have to be completed at school. Students will either be allowed time in class as a group to complete, or will have to complete when they have finished their assignments for the day. Posters will be on display at the Jackson County Fair October 6th-11th.
