As you may or may not know, I am often helping with student drop off in the morning, directing traffic to keep our students safe. To assist with this process, please make sure that you are forming two lines in the drop off and pick up lanes. This will keep these lines shorter, a necessity for our buses which also use the Intermediate parking lot for student drop off. I appreciate your assistance with this matter.

The Merton Winter Spiritwear Store is open now until November 11th. The items will be available to pick-up at Mid-City Sports before Christmas. Mid-City does have some of the items available to see for sizing purposes ... non-customized and there is a sizing chart available on the site if people want to see how it would fit. Here is the link to the website.

Arrowhead High School is hosting "Wake Up Call", a life-size exhibit of a teen's bedroom, on Wednesday, October 24th from 6:30-8PM. Please see the flyer below for more information.

Our fall Drug Take Back day is quickly approaching. On October 27th from 10AM to 2PM we will be at the Sussex Pick N Save collecting expired or unused medications along with needles and sharps. Last collection date we collected 22 boxes of medication totaling 289.6 pound and over 150 pounds of needles and sharps.

If you have any questions feel free to contact Lieutenant Kasat (AKasta@WaukeshaCounty.gov) or Deputy Farrell (cfarrell@waukeshacounty.gov) before the event.

The Merton Intermediate School Book Fair will run from November 5th-9th. Please see this link for more information and to sign up to volunteer. Thanks for your consideration and support.

Does any of this belong to your child? If so, please come and claim it. All items left after school today will be donated to charity.
