Changes to tonight's games. There will not be a 3/4 grade girls game tonight. We will start play with the 3/4 boys at 5:00 pm. 5/6 boys and girls will follow.

Next week we will be collecting food and other non-perishable food items for baskets. We will do this through a contest with each grade. Two winners will be selected one in grades Pk-4 and one in grades5-8. The winners will be selected based on the total number of items collected.The winners will receive a popcorn and movie party at a future date All food items will go to the PTO and be given to families for the Thanksgiving holiday season.

Attention Parents:
We will be dismissing school tomorrow 11/15/2019 due to sickness. We have a growing percentage of our students being sent home with flu, fever, or other illness. We hope the students will take the three-day weekend to mend and be ready for school on Monday. The staff will be taking the time Friday to disinfect the campus and ensure that the facilities are ready for the faculty and student’s return on Monday.

In honor of Veteran's day on Monday the 11th. We will have program to honor them starting at 11:45 (ish). Spiro VFW will present a program and Veteran in attendance are invited to stay for lunch.

Do not forget that pictures are Thursday 11/14


Thank you to everyone who came out last night for the Fall Festival. I am glad everyone had a chance to enjoy the hard work the faculty and staff put in to make it all happen. That being said everyone take the next two days off and enjoy Fall Break.

The fall festival is in full swing. Bingo, cake walk, concessions, silent auction, and more. Come down and enjoy the fun.




Tomorrow is the Fall Carnival from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
As you can see on the attached flyer there is a lot to do. Please, come out and enjoy the festivities.
We are pleased to announce that, thanks to the Shady Point Firefighters Wives Auxiliary, we will have Bingo. They have worked hard to round up great prizes.
In case of inclement weather, we will be moving the festivities into the gym. So, do not let rain stop you from coming out.

Parents:
There are two forms coming home today. One for Vision Screening and one for flu shots. We will have both on campus on Oct. 21st, but we need the forms by this Friday (Oct. 10th).
Vision screening is a service that we offer our students. Parents you may “Opt Out” if you wish. Otherwise, we will screen them on Oct 21st.
Flu shots are also a service that we offer our students. Parents you will have to “Opt In” if you want your child to participate. Keep in mind if your child is young (PK-4) or has an aversion to needles you may want to be here with them if they are going to receive a shot. Shots are on Oct 21st.

Just a quick update on the some ongoing construction. We have replaced all the tables in the cafeteria and moved the dumpsters to the back of the campus. Lastly, we added a covered walkway to load the bus. We hope the students enjoy them. Stay tuned for more as the year goes on.
