Thursday, October 4th

 A day, MAP schedule

Sports: At 4:00pm 7th and 8th grade volleyball teams will be playing Western Dubuque. 8th grade will play at Drexler and 7th grade will play here.  

The 7th grade white team football players shouldn't let their guard down, as they are playing Mazzuchelli  at 4:15 at Mazzuchelli. Good luck to all our teams today! 

And on a musical note, if you missed the first company meeting for "Seussical", please get the notes from another cast member! There is NO VPA TODAY!  Your next meeting will be on Tuesday, October 9th! Don't forget a pencil and binder, or there'll be no tacos for you!  If you cannot make it to the meeting, make sure to let Mrs. Schumacher know! 

Remember, sign up for the crew for VPA will be after winter break. It's so much fun!  You get to run the lights, design the set pieces, paint a lot, wear cool headphones, and run the works of the play. 

You can also help out in VPA by eating at Wendy's on JFK on Monday, October 8th between the hours of 5 and 7pm!  Mark your calendars now! 

The book fair is coming up very soon in October, so start saving up to make some sweet purchases October 15th-19th at our enchanted forest of books!  Listen to upcoming announcements about your chance to win prizes from your fairy godmothers…or librarians! 

Speaking of the library, if you are interested in being a part of the LRC team and you are an eighth grader, consider applying to be a member of the Library League!  This elite league of extraordinary people fight book crime and promote reading during homebase and beyond.  Applications can be picked up next week during your LRC visits! 

Happy Birthday!Kaitlyn Miller
