 FOOD PANTRY: there is an ongoing collection for our food pantry during November and December. Please see last week’s memo for the specifics. Also, they have requested that we ask for gently used children’s books to distribute with the Thanksgiving and Christmas food items. Since we started collecting used books for the food pantry a couple of years ago, it has become very popular with the children who come to the pantry with their families so they would like to continue the practice. Thank you for your generosity!!!

From Mrs. Mungovan;  Principals have been advised to pull the series of books including; Golden Compass, Subtile Knife and Amber Spyglass from our school libraries. Golden Compass has recently been released as a movie. As the trilogy progresses the theme of Atheism develops. Please take this into consideration when buying books for the children.
