As the weather begins to cool down, you will want to get your Spirit Sleeves for those Friday night football games. We have them available here in the Intermediate office, or you can print out the order form HERE and send to school with your child. They are made of cotton, nylon, spandex, and polyester, and wash up just like socks. Adult sizes are 16 inches long and Youth sizes are 13 inches long. At $10 per pair, what a great way to show your school spirit while keeping cozy on these cool mornings!

Tomorrow is the third day of our “Coins for Cancer” Campaign benefiting 3rd grade teacher, Dinah Morgan. Because it is Crazy Hair Day and NO sprayed hair is allowed, campuses have decided to allow students to wear wigs. However parents and students need to keep in mind that if the wig is a distraction or disrupts the learning of the student or other students in the classroom, the teacher may have student take off the wig during instruction time.   Students can wear wigs for lunch and recess.

Be sure to continue to bring those coins if you can as you enjoy these special days.
