Long Time, No Post

Wow! I can’t believe how long it’s been since this blog has been updated! I’ve seriously been falling down on the job. In my own defense, I do have to say that things have been a bit crazy.

Do you like the new fall background? It makes me feel like I need to be wearing a sweater. I love this time of year. The colors, the crisp mornings, the smell of spiced pumpkin. Ahh Fall.

The volleyball tournament was a lot of fun! I hope that everyone who came out to cheer, play and eat can say the same. I think there are a few people who are questioning my claim that it was “fun” as we did have a few injuries, and I’m not talking bruised egos. I know that there were stitches, bruises, injured shoulders, and sore knees. To those of you who “took one for the team”, I salute you.

I can officially update you on the outcome of the Auxiliary fundraisers! The Butter Braid fundraiser brought in $1712, and the Current fundraiser brought in $560. Grand Total raised (drum roll please) - $2272!!!!!! We are so thrilled with the outcome. Now, I know you are all thinking “What is that money being used for?”. All monies raised have been turned over to Miss VP to be used to fulfill the teacher’s wish lists. We are SO excited to be able to give back to our wonderful teachers. It’s just a small thing, but we hope that it helps our teachers make a difference in the lives of our students.

If you haven't noticed, I did post the Current Fundraiser link back under "helpful links". Why? We can support our school ALL YEAR LONG through current! Directions are a few posts down.

Be on the look out for information coming home with your students about the upcoming Fall Festival. There will also be a volunteer sign-up board at Parent-Teacher conferences. Prayerfully consider how you could give of your time!
