Fundraiser Time!
Each year we participate in Integrity Fundraisers, and we sell Butter Braids, coffee, and cookies to our friends and family. This year's fundraiser will start on October 9th, ends on November 7th, and items will be delivered to the school on November 15th and 16th. We appreciate your help in selling Butter Braid items to your friends and family. This is one of the most profitable and generous fundraisers there is for schools, and that is why we like to participate each year. As a plus, everyone loves warm Butter Braids and cookies around the holidays! One thing to keep in mind as you sell Butter Braid items, is that the items will be delivered to the school, and you will need to drop them off to your friends and family who purchased them. That means that selling to anyone out of town may be difficult unless they plan to come visit soon. We will deliver your orders to classrooms on the 15th and 16th for you to take home. If you are absent, all Butter Braid items will need to be picked up by November 16th because we have limited freezer space.
You will be able to collect orders on paper or online. We strongly encourage online orders instead of paper orders. Online ordering is the easiest way to collect orders because you won't need to collect money. Paper order forms will go out in early October. We will send out the link for online order collecting on October 9th.
Our financial goal this year is that every family sells ten Butter Braid items.
We appreciate all your support and help.

It has been brought to our attention that there has been some distracted driving in our parking lots. With 150 cars coming and going from our parking lot twice a day, we ask everyone to take extra care when going through our parking lot. Please pay attention, slow down, and be patient.

Music Class News
As we bid farewell to September and its enchanting Fall melodies and poems, we eagerly step into the month of October with a brand new musical adventure filled with playful instruments and spooky songs.
The children will play, march, and sing to tunes like, "I am a Fine Musician" and "Tapping on My Sticks". It will be an absolute delight to incorporate instruments into our chapel theme this month as well. We are especially thrilled to introduce the maracas to our little ones this year, as it is a fresh addition to our classroom!
To embrace the Halloween spirit, we will sing eerie songs and poems that we adore, such as "Sing a Song for Halloween," "Little Ghost," and "Old Mrs. Witch". We also cannot forget the all-time favorite of our little ones, "The Bat Song!"
Wishing you all a blessed October filled with the joys of this beautiful season!

-street signs put against the fence near the cars
