Remember to turn your clock back 1 hour this Saturday evening for Daylight Savings Time!   Early Voting Ends 10/31; Election Day - 11/5 It only comes around every 4 years - the chance to choose who will lead our country for the next term.  Everyone has an opinion. Everyone wants a say. It saddens me to hear people say things like, my vote won't count, or, it doesn't matter anyway so I'm just not going to. It does matter. It's a chance to voice your opinion. To have some input regarding the biggest job in the country. Seems rather important, doesn't it? Tomorrow is the last day you can early vote and skip big lines. Be heard. Do your duty - whether your candidate wins or not - at least you had a say. And you took part in one of the freedoms we have as Americans. The actual day to vote (with those super duper long lines) is November 5th. Don't miss this chance to make history. Yes, history. No matter the outcome, you can be proud of the fact that you had a...

Volleyball 10/24-10/26 - TACS Tournament, TBA Soccer 10/24-10/26 - Varsity Boys, TACS Tournament, TBA Brownie Sundaes, 10/25 Don't forget, this Friday the Seniors are hosting another Brownie Sundae event in the Commons. So bring your $2, or give your child a chore to earn $2, or let them purge the trays in the car for $2, or whatever you want to do. The gist of it is, it'll only take $2 to gain you hero status this week. You're welcome. :) Harvest Festival, 10/26 If you have looked out your window at 4:30 pm and noticed that it's already getting dark, you would be correct. It is. Which means Harvest Festival is right around the corner. As in this Saturday. Be sure to join us for this year's Harvest Festival from 3-7 pm. There's games, prizes, food, fun, and basically everything you need to have a super fun and enjoyable Saturday evening making memories with your family.  You can register here. And it's free. Yes, free. As in no money. Zero. Abby Candles, 10...

That means you should be receiving your very own historical record reflecting on your student's progress. Do with it what you may. Scrapbook it for future bragging rights - or blackmail, I'm not here to judge - or make copies and send it along to all the members in your family. Again, I'm not here to judge. All I know is K5-6th graders will receive a paper copy in a cute little manilla envelope. Which we will need you to sign and return to the teacher asap. (Yes, we need those back. We shall be sending 3 more report cards home this year and it saves resources if we reuse.) Parents of 7th-12th graders will be receiving a link in their email. Click that link and ...

In 2021-2022, that number jumped to $820. Who knows what that number is now with the cost of living continually going up. Inflation. Supply chain issues. Energy cost increases. And the list goes on. I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.  This is where the PTF Minutemen Club comes in.  The PTF supports the teachers and classrooms. Plain and simple. If they hav...

I didn't see very many wet eyes Monday morning, I didn't hear screaming and gnashing of teeth (yes, I'm talking about parents), and I didn't have a bunch of kiddos in my office asking for medicine at 8:05. I'd say that was a win win and another win for the start of a new school year! But, as with anything new, it can take just a little bit to settle into a routine. And ...

Literally, an entire year. (Last year, my card paid for itself with Blue Coast Burrito in two visits. The rest of the year was like bonus points. And don't get me started on Slim Chickens. Just don't. Really. It was an amazing little tool to have.)  Or are you one of those people who would rather have all the savings on ...
