September 6-10

Dear Parents,

Just a reminder, there will not be school on September 6 in observance of Labor Day. 

Picture day is September 8.  If you would like to order pictures, please return the form that went home last week.  You will need to pick what package you would like and enclose a check. 

The Church/School Community fair is coming up on September 12^th.  The children are going to be singing our school theme song at the 10:30am service.  After the service, there will be lunch, games and fun for all.  See you there!

On September 23^th, the third grade class will be going to the Argo Gold Mine in Idaho Springs.  We will leave the school at 8:45am and return around 3:00pm.  The children will need to bring $7 for lunch at Beau Jo’s.  Please send the money in before the day of the fieldtrip.  Please return the permission form as soon as possible so I can figure out the drivers. 

Enjoy the long weekend!

Mrs. Quante
