CAN you believe it is almost the mid-semester?

As we fast approach the mid-semester, it is a great time for students to review grades and set goals. Teachers will be working hard to write comments to help students review areas of success and improvement in their classes. October is also a busy month with a lot of different activities on campus. Here are a few reminders for the month: 

• October 9: half day for students (dismissal at 12:05 p.m.) with 'Canstruction' and other fun activities.
• October 11 - 14: we are off Friday and Monday for the long weekend.  
• October 15 - 18: Homecoming Week
• October 21 - 25: Book Fair
• October 31: LS Halloween Parade and MS Lid Gig

We are very excited about our half day of Service and Fun on October 9. Students will hear from two guest speakers from The United Way and The Indian River Food Pantry about the impact and importance of service.  Students will work with their advisory to build their 'Canstruction' with the cans their advisory has brought into use. Please help with the effort by bringing in cans before Wednesday. All cans used in the 'Canstruction' competition will be donated to the Indian River Food Pantry during the school food drive. After 'Canstruction' is complete, students will head outside for fun activities and a cookout!
