Dear Parents,

It is that time of year when it seems all of us are nonstop busy!  It is the same way at the School.

Our Perry Campbell cookie/pie fundraiser begins on Tuesday, October 1st. We have had good success with this company, so we are hoping for a great response from our parents.  This fundraiser will run through Friday, October 18th.

The St. Petersburg Fire Department will be here on Tuesday morning, October 8th.  They will go over fire safety with the children and then let the children walk through the fire truck.

On the 17th of this month, one of our dads will be coming in his police cruiser to talk to the children about safety and his job as a police officer.  We look forward to him coming and are very appreciative of him taking the time to speak with the children.

Friday, October 25th, we will be closed so that our staff can prepare for our fall festival.

Please put Saturday, October 26th, on your calendars, as this is our annual Autumn at Argonauta fall festival.  We will be needing all parents to help man the children's games from 5 PM until 8 PM.  The festival is open to our school families, church families, and the general community.

Then on Monday, October 28th, we will be closed again so that our staff can clean up everything from the festival, pack things up, and put all the items back into storage.

School will close at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 29th.  Our annual Fall Celebration Dinner is that evening beginning at 6:00 p.m. Information will come home to you about this event as the time approaches.

Thursday, October 31st is our Fall Party.  Children will be able to wear costumes to school for the morning fall parade.  Again, you will receive information later in the month.

After October, we will jump right into November with our Samaritan's Purse Christmas child collection.  Details will come home describing what this collection entails.

We still have openings in our two/three year old class.  Please pass the word to anyone you know who is looking for a spot for their child.

Thank you for all your support.

Joyfully,

Cindy and Sandy
