Speaking of conferences…
Can you help feed colleagues at parent-teacher conferences?
I say this as kindly as possible: we here consume food like Biblical locusts. And especially during conferences, when each colleagues is connecting with hundreds of families, we have minutes to eat. So the awesome folks of our PTO are working on dinner for folks here for November 10 and 12.. Click this link…

Don’t forget!
There is no school? Really?
Yup, there is no school for students on Monday, November 2, as teachers engage in some training. Have a great day away!
