At our morning assembly, we heard about the process the Operation Christmas shoeboxes go through to get to another country and into a child's hands. Two girls shared how excited and loved they felt when they received Operation Christmas boxes at an orphanage in Ukraine. The students had a lot of questions, so here is the link to information about putting together shoeboxes:

Our school will have some boxes in the hallways for collecting shoeboxes or items that would be good to send in shoeboxes. I will let you know when those collection boxes are set out.
The class took the Reading MAP test this morning. On Monday, they will take the Math one.
At the end of the day, we had our Fall Fest assembly. We found out that the goal for this year is to raise $35,000 for the baseball and soccer fields. Any money left over will go toward finishing the gym. We also found out about the different prizes for raising money! The students are bringing home their packets today to start collecting pledges. The posters say 10:00 to 1:00, but Fall Fest will actually be from 10:00 to 2:00 on Saturday, October 13. The packets contain the information for signing up for the races and ordering T-shirts.
