**It works best if these items are labeled, so staff can return lost items to their owners.
Please continue to watch those morning temps. It will warm up this week, but the morning temps remain very cold.
If you need assistance providing these winter items for your child, please reach out to our counselor, Mrs. Holm at Carleen.Holm@k12.sd.us

Jan from Sanderson Gardens is bringing pumpkins for families to take if they would like starting at 2:45pm. She will park in the smaller West lot and families can pick up pumpkins before or after dismissal. If you want pumpkins, please get them before 3:10 or after 3:30 to avoid congestion during a busy dismissal time.
Thanks and Happy Fall!
