Harvest Festival, 10/28
Do you ever find yourself looking for something you can do with your family that won't cost an arm and a leg? Have you not quite grown out of that whole, I'd like to dress up as...mentality? Does going to dinner with your family in tow bring a tear to your eye because you wonder how you're going to trick your four kiddos into sharing two meals without them resorting to fighting over whose side of the hamburger is bigger?
I have good news.
Join us this Saturday from 3pm - 7pm for our annual Harvest Festival where we've planned a ton of fun for the entire family. Plan to wander from booth to booth playing games, collecting candy, laughing with friends who have dressed up in goofy costumes just like you, and be prepared to have fun the whole family will enjoy.
And when you get hungry, make sure to mosey your way to the pavilion and grab yourself a free meal. It's on us.
No Preschool, 11/3
Preschool will be closed November 3rd but Kindergarten through 12th grade will be up and operational. Which means it's not an optional school day. Yes. You really are required to come to school. So parents of preschoolers, please enjoy this special time with your child. They're only small once.

Lost & Found, October 25th-27th
Jacket Time in Tennessee
The mornings seem a little nippy and the afternoons can be warm. Ish. Please send along a jacket to school with your student as it is our plan to go outside as much as possible before the cold weather actually gets here. And, if you really aren't interested in rooting around the lost & found tables looking for a jacket or sweater, please consider putting a name on the tag so it can be returned to its rightful owner. (I don't recommend initials. You'd be surprised how many times initials actually aren't unique.)
