A Message from Mr. Oberdorf
Winter is coming!
Winter is fast approaching. Monday of this week definitely let us know winter is not far off. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather. We will be outside for recess unless the temperature is below zero so winter jackets, hats, and gloves will be needed. Snow pants will be needed for any students planning to play in the snow. As we all know, weather in Wisconsin changes quickly. It may be a comfortable fall day in the morning, followed by a frigid, snowy, blizzard at lunch time. Please send your child prepared for the chill.
Harvest Craft and Vendor Fair
The annual fair will be held on November 12. It is an amazing event hosted by the Christian Women Group and the Home and School Committee. Our school is transformed from a school to a marketplace and back to a school over a 3 day period. There are craft booths in the gym, church hall, and the school hallways. The vendors are looking to sell their one of a kind items. Food is available for purchase and last year Santa made an appearance.
As with any event of this magnitude many hands are needed to make it a success. The school community has always done a great job of volunteering to make the craft fair a success and your help is needed again. Help is needed on Thursday, 11/10 for setup, Friday, 11/11 to assist crafters with bringing their items into the building, and Saturday, 11/12 to assist with the actual fair. The Home and School also requests our school families donate chili for the chili dump which will be sold on the day of the fair. Please use the sign genius below to sign up to donate chili or volunteer your time for this great event.
