Halloween Update!

Happy Halloween, everyone!! 

The kids are very excited to dress up and go trick-or-treating, and I bet you are looking forward to the inevitable sugar high! ;)

Here are some announcements for your reading pleasure: 

Fundraiser Pickup (from JTSD PTA)
We have received confirmation from Great American that our delivery will arrive on Thursday, November 14th.

Items must be picked up in the gym between 4:00pm-7:00pm on November 14th.  

If your student qualified for the movie, limo lunch, or "human sundae" we will be sending home a notice next week with the date for the event.  We will also send home a Permission Slip for the Limo Lunch.  Students who qualified for that prize cannot go unless the signed permission slip is returned.  If your student earned the "toilet", we will distribute those at school after the 14th.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this fundraiser a success.  We raised enough funds to purchase the stage curtain for the gym.  We look forward to showing it off once it is installed.
