This week is “Character Counts” week. To celebrate “Character Counts” at the elementary, we are having our own colored themed “dress up days.” The days are as follows:

Along with the colored themed dress-up days, there will be a "Character Counts Citizenship Project" that Mrs. McCabe, the guidance counselor, will be organizing. This year's "Character Counts Citizenship Project" is a winter wear donation box. Please help students donate NEW winter items including socks, mittens, hats, or gloves. These items will be dispersed throughout the Howard-Winneshiek School District. Thanks for your support!The Chip Shoppe Fundraiser is due on Tuesday, October 22nd. Please see that your child returns his/her envelope with the money and order form by that date. Thank you!
On Friday, you were given a note from the school explaining Parent Teacher Conferences and online scheduling. You may begin signing up for conferences on Wednesday, October 23rd. If you have any questions about Parent Teacher Conferences scheduling, please contact Linda at the office or myself. Thanks!
Lastly, there will be a 3-hour early dismissal on Wednesday, October 23rd. We are dismissing at 12:25PM, so please plan accordingly. Please contact me with any questions.
Have a great week!
