The 27th Annual Choral Festival is set for November 16th at Eisenhower Middle School.

Traditionally, the majority of  6th grade parents have chosen this as an opportunity to take their child out for lunch. We request that any parent wishing to take a student from the choral festival send in a note with their child by November 15th. This helps us to keep track of all the students and where they should be after the event is over.

Because the 16th is an early release day, we will have a sign out sheet available at the choral festival. You will need to sign your son/daughter out if you don't plan to return him/her to school by 1pm.

6th Grade Care Package Collection

In honor of Veteran's Day our class has voted to send care packages to soldiers deployed to Afghanistan. We have at least one parent in each of the 6th grade classes that is currently deployed. Our care package(s)will be sent to their unit(s).

Items these soldiers would like to have are :

• coffee
• creamer (powdered)
• sugar
• holiday treats

You are welcome to give anything you wish. Something that might be nice is a pre-paid phone card. Fort Riley will not forward calls to Manhattan where our families live. Therefore, soldiers have to pay to call their families. Isn't is always the little things that you & I take for granted that make a deployed soldiers day?! Please begin sending in items as soon as possible. I'll be mailing the box on November 17th.
