You all are the best bunch of smarties I have ever known. I feel so blessed to work in such a joyful place full of friends and loved ones. I don't deserve such niceness. Thank you again.

Tomorrow is Halloween in case anyone has their head in the sand. Since it is a regular chapel day, they students will wear chapel attire in the morning. They will be allowed to change into their costumes before lunch. Oral book reports are to be given tomorrow. If your child dresses up, it should be a costume of his/her book character. Costumes are not mandatory. Mrs. Jodi has volunteered to buy pizza for us for lunch, and we will begin party festivities after lunch. Thank you in advance to the Wintons for organizing the party.
