Candy AND CARDS for the troops will continue this week
Together with the Girl Scouts and in honor of Veteran's Day, the PRS Community Service Committee will be collecting candy as well as cards for the troops. There are bins in the front foyer which we will keep out through Thursday 11/10 - one for candy and another for cards to send along with the candy to the troops. We have collected a lot of candy so far and it would be great to get some more homemade cards or pictures to send along in each box full of candy! Let’s show the troops our PRS community appreciation for their service!

| PRS Birthday Book Club is back, and we are celebrating year- round! Be on the lookout for a flyer in your child's backpack. This year, we are asking that you submit your child's payment, form, and optional picture by the return date on the flyer, instead of during their birthday month. When your child's birthday month rolls around (summer birthdays are celebrated in June with the Birthday Book Club), they will receive a note to come down to the library to select their book. They will be the first to check it out- and it will have their picture inside if you sent one! A very special way to celebrate your child's special day!" | |
Picture Re-takes - Lifetouch will be at PRS on November 8th. For students who may have missed Picture Day earlier this year, they can get their picture taken and choose packages later. For those who are seeking re-takes, please bring your picture package with you on the 8th. | |
