Don't forget on Wednesday we have early dismissal. Students will be dismissed at 11 am!
Thursday is our Book Fair from 6:30-8 pm. I won't be sending home scholastic book orders for the month of October due to the book fair.
I am all set with my chaperons for Downers Grove next month. I would like to still invite any parents that would like to join us for lunch. You can meet us at Girodano's pizza at 11:45. You are also welcome to join your child's group as the tour downtown DG to visit the local merchants and Main Street Cemetery.
