As it is Halloween there will be no homework.  Have a wonderful evening! Our spelling will be rescheduled to next Friday.  On that day we will do Lesson 8 and 9 together.

Well tomorrow is Halloween so don't forget your costumes.  To participate in the Halloween festivities you must bring $1.00 for the Holy Childhood association, and some canned food for the food bank. The food bank donation is optional.  Don't forget it is hot lunch tomorrow.
The Bighouse trip is fast approaching and a few notices have been sent out recently.  Please make sure your parents receive all notices.  Remember no flashlights and bring a very warm sleeping bag and your pillow. Your clothing can be packed in a small suitcase, duffle bag, backpack, or bag. Place one wool hat and socks in a ziplock bag so you can wear them to bed.  Lastly, bring gloves and a hat for daytime wear.  
We are in desperate need of a couple of Parent elders to drive their car to the Bighouse and carry the luggage up with them. There isn't enough room on the bus for the luggage.
Lastly, scholastic orders went yesterday.  All orders must be at school by Thursday, November 7.
