theme of this year’s book fair, the

Galatians 6:9
A Note from the Principal:
The above verse is our Serve, Love
Noah Club’s encouraging verse for this
school year. It has been included at the
bottom of our thermometer by the front
door. SLN met last Tuesday and tossed
around some more great ideas. They
are strongly considering a float in the
Christmas parade as well as an open
house before the Christmas program.
Volunteers will be needed to ride on the
float and to walk next to it to pass out
candy canes and fliers with information
about the school and the open house.
SLN is the heart beat of the school. If
you want to connect with other families
in the school then attend SLN meetings.
If you want to know what’s going on and
where you can help out then come to
the meetings.

Student Fun Day
Student fun day for the month of
October has been cancelled due to the
number of dress code violations since
the last fun day. The number of days on
our dress code tally needs to reach at
least 15 by November 16th for the
students to have a Student Fun Day in
November.
Dress code violations are preventable
with proper exercise of parental concern
and authority. Therefore, parents,
please be familiar with what is
acceptable and help your child(ren) to
comply.
Parent/Teacher
Conferences
Parent/Teacher Conferences are
scheduled for Friday, October 28th.
Sign-up sheets will be posted on the
teachers’ doors by Tuesday, October
18th. Each conference is scheduled for
15 minutes and allows a time for parents
and teachers to work together in
understanding a student’s progress and
needs. Report cards are issued at the
end of the student’s conference.
A sign-up sheet to speak with Mrs.
Gomez will be posted in the office. Mrs.
Gomez teaches 3rd grade spelling, 4th
grade spelling, 5th grade spelling, 6th
grade spelling and 6th grade math.
Mrs. Gordon needs to be off the day of
Parent/Teacher conferences for another
engagement. She would like to conduct
conferences after school next week.
Please speak with her to set up a time.
Apple Pie Fundraiser
All order forms will need to be returned
to the office by NEXT Monday, Oct. 24th.
In addition to selling pies, we will need
hands to help prepare them. Pies will
be assembled on Friday and Saturday,
Nov. 4th and 5th. A sign-up sheet is
posted in the office with specific times
and duties to choose from.
There is also a sign-up sheet in the
office to sell apple pies at the
Walmart on Dell Range THIS
Saturday, October 22nd from 10 am to
2 pm. We have TWO slots left to fill.
Each slot is a two hour block of time.
SchoolStore.com
We had some questions in the office last
week about the benefits the school
receives when ordering on
schoolstore.com. SchoolStore
employees have assured Mrs. Gomez
that as long as the participant is
following the link they received via
email, the school will get credit for the
purchase. Some participants were
unsure after completing their orders with
a participating business because a
confirmation was not displayed. It can
take two weeks to a month for the credit
earned to be applied to the school’s
account. Thank you to everyone who is
utilizing this opportunity to earn the
school some extra money.
