Still Accepting Cookie Dough Orders

There is still time to turn in your Cookie Dough Fundraiser order forms!
Thanks to everyone who turned in your cookie dough order forms last week. I am still accepting order forms for those of you who forgot, but I need to place the final order Friday, November 14th. Additional order forms are located outside the school office. We are more than halfway to our goal of 1300 items (or approximately 3 items/child). Cookie dough orders will arrive on Monday, December 5th. More information to follow. Email jlandersson@att.net if you have any questions.

You can also find the order form here: http://www.savoryfoods.com/2011_order_form.pdf

Thanks!

PTO November Meeting Agenda

We hope you can join us for the November PTO meeting, which is Thursday, November 3, in the Media Center/Library. As always, free childcare is provided. We respect your time and we know that most of us have arranged childcare in order to attend these evening meetings. Therefore, someone on the PTO Board will act as a timekeeper for each meeting to ensure we stay on schedule.

Our November meeting will focus on winter events and activities. Our December meeting will primarily be an informal public chat with D97 Superintendent Roberts and you will receive additional information on this soon.

Hope to see you Thursday night!
