Church Appointments: Our school has been asked to put on the church services at Kennewick SDA Church on October 17 and Riverview SDA Church on the 24th. Our class will be singing. I know it’s hard for some of you to participate because of previously scheduled responsibilities, but I’ll be sending out a note today to determine how many of my students will be able to make those two appointments. Thank you for working with us on this.

Picture Retake Day: Monday, October 19

Book-it Reading Program: When your student turns in his/her reading minutes for this month (October) he/she will receive a Pizza Hut certificate for reading 240 minutes for the month.

Field Trip: We will be taking a field trip to the pumpkin patch/corn maze on Wednesday, October 14. At first we’d been scheduled to go the one on Road 68. After determining that they would not allow the children to go through the corn maze, we changed our trip to the Country Mercantile on Highway 395. Our tour is scheduled for 9:00 AM. We will need to leave the school by 8:35.

We need drivers for the trip. At the moment I have two drivers scheduled plus myself. I have need for drivers for 7 more children. Please let me know if you’d be available to drive.

Remember your child will need a booster seat. The state law requires children up to their 8th birthday to use a booster seat. Last month I measured the children and no one is tall enough to get out of the law. Only two students are old enough to not require a booster.
