A message from the nurse:

This is a reminder that all students may eat breakfast and lunch FREE until the end of December. 3rd through 6th may add an extra entree or a double of their entree choice if they have $2 cash to hand to the cafeteria clerk at the time of purchase. Money must remain in accounts for extra milk. It is extremely important that you complete the child nutrition free or reduced lunch forms sent home if you qualify for assistance before Sept. 25th. If you need another form, please call 870-862-4641 ext 130 and request one, or send a note to your child’s teacher. Qualification for free or reduced status will take effect in January, but is needed now for federal reporting.

We had some classes make great donations for the hurricane victims in Lake Charles & donations for the emergency workers trying to rebuild the city’s structure. However, some rooms had zero items donated. So... we are competing for 2nd place. Bring items in the morning and take to homerooms. We will count and deliver to Elite Nutrition before lunch. Thanks for teaching your children to give to those in need.

Reminder (1) tomorrow is the yearbook picture day - all employees & all students will be photographed; (2) tomorrow is last day to make a donation to be taken to Lake Charles, LA
