Kids Care is a great opportunity for our 4th and 5th graders to give back to our community led by Amy Hoines, our Kids Care Coordinator. This month our kids helped with Kinder Academy, Lifescape, Dakotabilities, Toy Lending Library, St. Francis House, Bishop Dudley House, and making tie blankets for the nonprofit Sleep in Heavenly Peace which gets kids in need into brand new beds. Thank you for your service to our community! Thanks to our parent volunteers for driving!

The 3rd graders made their first visit to Dow Rummel Assisted Living Nursing Home on Friday, October 18th for their monthly community service project. They made fall decorations for their doors and visited with the residents. They wore their Halloween costumes and then read to the residents. It is a great experience for all!
The Book Fair was a huge success! Thank you for the support! We were able to give a big donation to the library and many families bought books for the teachers off their wishlists! Awesome! Thanks to Karina Dachtler for her hard work getting things ready!
One of our after school enrichment activities, Book Clubs, got started on Friday afternoon for grades 3-5.
