A note from Mrs. Cureton:

What a great week in Cougar Nation! We wrapped up our first 9 weeks with our first Leader Assemblies. If you haven't gotten a chance to do so, hop on over to our campus Facebook page and check out some awesome moments from our Leader Assemblies!

PTA is collecting bags of individually wrapped candy for our Fall Festival! If you are able to donate a bag of candy for the festival, please send with your student to school. We will be collecting bags of candy from Tuesday, October 4th--Thursday, October 20th.  

Spirit Gear:

Unfortunately, the company PTA is using for spirit gear does not have their online ordering site functioning at this time. Therefore, PTA will only be able to accept spirit gear orders via the paper forms that were sent home with your students earlier this week. The new order deadline date is Monday, October 18th. Spirit gear will be delivered sometime in early November. Please bring your completed forms, with cash or check payments, and place in the PTA box in the front office. 

Book Fair:

Our book fair is coming up this week, October 17th-21st. We will have two early days, Monday, October 17th (Donuts with Grownups), and Wednesday, October 19th (Granola with Grandparents). On these dates, we would love to see our families shopping the book fair from 7:15-8:00 and enjoying breakfast with us! Students will also have the opportunity to purchase from the book fair during their scheduled class time. The book fair will aslo be open late on the night of our Fall Festival (October 21st). 

Have a great weekend!

-Sarah Cureton, Principal
