This week we have individual school pictures on Thursday, October 9th. Students may wear non-uniform dress outfits for the pictures or they may wear Texan Jerseys in support of the team’s Thursday night game. Thursday is also Family Fun Night with the Book Fair being open until 7:00. Family Fun Night will run from 5:00 to 7:00 and will include Bingo and Lomonte’s lasagna plates. You can still make it home in time to see the Texans football game.
October 17th is Pink Out Day and students may wear pink in support of Cancer Awareness.
There will be a Gifted and Talented Parent Informational Meeting on October 20th at Lamar High School. Please read this flyer for more info: ParentMeetingFlyer- October 2014
Our Fall Carnival is coming soon and it will be held on a Friday night for the first time in a while. The date is Friday, October 24th from 4:00 to 8:00. This is always a fun time for the students so come out and enjoy the festivities. This day is also an early release day for the students. School will end at 11:30 so we need for parents to make arrangements to have their children picked up early. The children should be well rested for the carnival that evening. We look forward to seeing everyone.
