Fall is surely in the air today. Hope you are enjoying the rain.

We are planing a field trip next Tuesday, October 12 to Parowan. This is along with our study of Iron County. We will be gone all day. Everyone will need to have school lunch that day. If your child already has school lunch every day nothing changes. If your child brings lunch from home or goes home for lunch they will need to purchase a school lunch. This way everyone has the same thing and feelings are not hurt. We will not need reading parents on Tuesday, October the 12. If you can come in another day that week it would be great, if not that's okay.

I did send home a book order on Friday. If you choose to purchase any books please make a check out to Scholastic Book Clubs. Please have your order in by this Friday, October 8. A new book is a great incentive to get a struggling reader excited about reading.

Please start saving your box tops and bringing them into our classroom!! Put them in the can on the counter and don't forget to write your name on the can. The contest will be for the month of October. Prizes will be given out for all those that participate. The class that reaches the goal of 800 will have an extra spooktacular surprise!!

Please this week is Parent - Teacher Conferences. School will be dismissed at 2:30 every day, including Wednesday. If you have forgotten your time you can email me or call Mrs. Smith in the office. See you this week.
