From the Cherry principal
And the Winner is....
Dear Families,
October 31 was a busy day at the Cherry campus. Of course we had Fall parties in the afternoon. It was a treat to see students all dressed up. We also held our monthly character assemblies in the morning. This month we recognized students for showing empathy. We also had some fun by presenting the check to our raffle winner Kurt Kellermeyer (winning ticket sold by the Kraft sisters).
And finally, Mme Royce was given a pie in the face by the Cherry top ticket seller- Brooklynn Adams. What a day!

INFO SHARING
Coins for the Cabinet
 For the sixth year, Académie Lafayette is once again participating in the Coins for the Cabinet drive. The jars will be located at each campus for
the week of November 5-9.
Pennies on Monday, nickels on Tuesday, dimes on Wednesday, quarters on Thursday and bills on Friday! Which campus can fill up the big jars? Proceeds benefit the
Kansas City Medicine Cabinet. Your loose change can turn into eyeglasses, wheelchairs, hearing aids, prescription medications and other short-term emergency medical assistance for neighbors in need. As always, 100 percent of every donation to the Coins for the Cabinet campaign went directly to help people in need.
"The spare change people find in their pockets or under their couch cushions can make a big difference for individuals in need," said former Royals player Frank W
hite. White and his wife, Teresa, are Kansas City's Medicine Cabinet spokespersons. "People who gave a little to the Coins for the Cabinet campaign helped a lot."
It doesn't take much to make a big difference in the lives of people faced with medical expenses they can't afford.

I am a parent of a 1st grader at Oak and help keep the Oak uniform
closet decluttered and organized on a weekly basis. Listen up (tired/busy) Oak parents: Any families that don't have time or transportation to come by and grab clothes out of the uniform closet for their child I'm offering to pack a bag for you and send it home with your child or you can fetch it off my front porch in South Hyde Park (no guarantees you may get what you want -- totally based on what's in there). Parents can text or email me:
1) Parent name
2) Full name of Oak child and teacher/grade
3) Preferred size(s) and items and # needed (i.e. boy/girl, size 5 thru 16, khaki pants or skirt or red or blue or white long sleeve shirts (polo or button up), sweaters, sweatshirts, leggings, socks etc).
The closet is full (esp tops) and we'd love it to get used! Please don't hesitate to reach out. And if you have things to donate, drop them off at the front desk. The uniform closet is always open and unlocked (yellow door north end next to Shum/1st classroom) for any parent to peruse during school hours.
Thanks,
Sally King 816-699-3109
P.S. A note from Missy Bailey the Cherry uniform closet organizer: Attention Cherry parents -- please donate any unneeded uniforms! Donations are low! Drop at the front desk. Thanks!

If you are a Maker:
We still have some open spots for artist for the 2018 Holiday Art Market. This event always attracts a large crowd of shoppers who want unique items to give as their holiday gifts. Booth fees are extremely reasonable and we would love to have you. You can find more details on the event page below, or on the online application here.
If you are a Baker (or love to volunteer):
We are always in need of wonderful volunteers to give their time and their baking skills. We have a few different volunteer opportunities for those that can bake and/or would love to donate to the bake sale. As many of you know this is where the majority of our fundraising from the event school comes from. This event would not be the same without the bake sale and all the volunteer help that we get.
To help volunteer at the bake sale/or to donate baked goods see this sign up here.
Another opportunity that we need some volunteers is for the 16th and 17th set up, or greeters. If you have some time we would love some help. It is easy and quick and you get lots of thank yous afterwards! For more info or to sign up here.
If you Love to Shop for Unique Gifts:
Make sure to mark your calendars for the 7th Annual Holiday Art Market. This market always showcases amazing pieces from local artists and all profits go back to the school. Also enjoy some local food trucks throughout the day to refuel and recharge as you shop! Come help the school and get your holiday shopping done. Join us Saturday, Nov 17th from 10 am - 5 p.m. at the Cherry Campus! See our facebook event page for more details here.
