LAGUNA'S USED BOOK DRIVE AND SALE
Fall break is a perfect time to cull your bookshelves for your donations while clearing space for your "new-to-you" books.
What Do We Want?
Adult and children's fiction and nonfiction, cookbooks, history books--basically if it has a cover, we want it! We will also accept quality children's magazines (e.g., National Geographic, Ranger Rick), complete puzzles, children's videos, DVDs, CDs, books on tape, games, and computer games (non-violent only). Please do not send in any PG/PG-13/R videos (DVDs are OK) or adult magazines.
When?
Books will be collected each morning between October 31st and November 4th after morning drop off
The Used Book Sale will be held November 7th through 10th during school hours in the cafeteria.
How Else Can You Help?
We are in need of helping hands every day from 8:45 to 3:15 the weeks of October 31st and November 7th. The week of October 31st, we will be collecting and sorting the donated items. The week of November 7th, we need volunteers to assist children with their purchases. If you can give even just a few hours of your time, we would be very appreciative.
Thank you for your support!
Diana Laulainen-Schein, Kiera Allen, Heather Frederickson,
Leslie Holzman, and Misty Naaf
If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, please don't hesitate to call Diana at 657-7296 or email at diana.laulainen@gmail.com.

NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents,
Yeah! It finally feels like Autumn and just in time for our fall break. Report cards for 1st-5th grades will be coming home on Friday, October 21st. Kindergarten reporting is on a trimester with their report cards coming home the week of November 8th.
Parent-teacher conferences will occur during the month of November. Expect more detailed information from your child's teacher after the break.
Lastly, Spirit Night was a great success. It was so much fun! Thank you to all the parents who volunteered and everyone who supported the event with their attendance. I want to give a particular shout out to Steve Brown, Albertsons Store Director! He has continuously supported our school events through the years with not only donations but in giving of his personal time. He worked all night side-by-side with our hard working volunteers.
I wish each family a wonderful week of rest and fun.
Dr. Katie Root
