Students may wear any super hero costume or any combination of black and orange. Students are asked to donate at least a dollar with
all proceeds going to benefit Haiti natives who suffered loss and devastation from Hurricane Matthew. We thank you for your generosity!

INIC UPDATE
:
There has been reported cases of strep throat in preschool and middle school. Sore throat usually lasts a few days and turns into a cold but the Strep throat is much more painful and quick onset. Not everyone gets a fever with it. If you suspect it; a doctor's visit is required to test for strep culture. Thank you for making us aware of illnesses it helps to prevent contagiousness.
There has been a number of students with complaints of stomach pain in varying degrees. Without a fever, I will encourage them to get through their day. If they return numerous times I will let you know. And lastly, we have had a few reported cases of the flu. This usually entails missing numerous days of school, so please make me aware if your child is home with the flu. If you have not gotten a flu shot yet---put it on the To Do List!!
FARE's Teal Pumpkin Project®
is a worldwide movement to create a safer, happier Halloween for all kids. Putting a teal pumpkin on your doorstep means you have non-food treats available, such as glow sticks or small toys. This simple act promotes inclusion for trick-or-treaters with food allergies or other conditions.
Have a great week and a Safe Fun Halloween!!

Step 2: You will be emailed a grocery list and pre-workshop prep for the above meals after the order has been placed.

Step 4: Take your completed meals home and put them in the freezer. They will be ready for you on busy nights to come! EASY!
