Spina Bifida Awareness and Down Syndrome Awareness Month: We are showing support for our friends with Spina Bifida and Down Syndrome on Wednesdays this month by wearing colors to support each group. Spina Bifida colors are yellow and teal and Down Syndrome colors are yellow and blue. If everyone wears yellow, we can support both at the same time! Most of students are already aware of Down Syndrome, but fewer were aware of Spina Bifida.

Free Community Event: On Thursday, October 13 from 5:30 PM-7:00 PM at Reeds Spring Middle School, Laura Stack, the founder and CEO of Johnny's Ambassadors will be speaking on the negative effect of dabbing high-THC marijuana can have on adolescent brain development, mental illness, and suicide. She will share about her own son's story on marijuana addiction and his shocking descent from innocence to suicide. This event is a free event.

Meal Money Reminder: We know it is hard to get back in the swing of remembering to pay since meals were free last year, but don't forget to send in breakfast, lunch and/or snack milk money for your child.

Class Dojo: Please let us know if you cannot connect to Class Dojo. This app is our main form of communication in the Elementary. Being connected allows you to know what is going on in your child's classroom and communicate with your child's teacher(s).

Elementary Cross Country: The next elementary cross country meet will be this Wednesday, October 12. Students who have been selected to run will have a permission slip coming home this week. These need to be returned by next Wednesday or your child will not be able to attend.

Fluoride Treatments: Nurse Sydney sent home forms for students in kindergarten through 6th grade to have free Fluoride Treatments on Thursday, October 20. If you would like your student to receive this treatment, you must sign and return the permission slip. If you have any questions, please contact Nurse Sydney at 417-723-5300 ext. 128.
