Catching up

Hi everyone~
Sorry I have been a bit "out of touch." I am having technology problems, and I am sending you this really quickly from my husband's computer, before he goes to work. Unfortunately, technology problems are a common part of my life!!

First, I want to say WOW!! I am so proud of my kiddos that were able to be there on Sunday. I have received SO MANY compliments on their behalf. They did a great job!!

We are studying apples this week, finishing up with Johnny Appleseed on Friday! We will have an apple tasting and do lots of fun apple stuff this week! We are reviewing the letters we have worked on so far.

I need some input from you. We have a great opportunity for a quick and pretty easy fundraiser. We have been asked to sell food at Railroad Days. It's on Oct. 17. We did this last year, and it was great!! However, the snag is this. I, for the 2nd year in a row, can't be there on that day. That is the day of my son's football tournament out of town. I would like input from you to let me know if you'd be able to help on that day. We will have some setup, 2 hour shifts, then clean up. Please let me know if you'd be able to help that day. It is a great fundraiser for us, but I don't want to commit if we won't have enough help.

Also, I sent home some Scholastic Book orders. There is NO obligation to buy books. They just offer high quality books at great prices. If you choose to order, please have your orders in by Friday, Oct. 2. They now offer an easy way to order online. I will see if you can do that directly, but, if not, please make checks payable to His Kids, and we will order all together online.

Marlowe's got to go to work, so have a great day!!
