Talent Show Lunch
Our annual talent show will take place at lunch TOMORROW.
It's shaping up to be a terrific show and all families are invited to attend. As in the past, the students will be sitting on the floor to eat. Please do not send a lunch for your child that needs to be heated or needs hot water. There will be too many people in the gym for the microwave and hot water dispenser to be used. Also, in order to keep our time together safe for our students with allergies please do not send any peanut butter or food containing nuts or peanuts in your child's lunch on that day. Thank you. - Mr. Burroughs
Trunk or Treat
Our first Trunk or Treat was a huge success last week. I think that was easily the best new family event at SHS in a long time. We want to thank everyone who participated, especially those families who decorated their cars (75+) and distributed candy. There were so many fun and imaginative displays.
This year's Grand Prize Winner was The Beckers (Annie, 6th grade) - Christmas Village
Honorable Mentions:
� Doug and Patty Cook (Jenny, 5th ) - Ghost Guts
� Maria Danieli-Krueger and Jeffrey Krueger (Siena, 4th) - Scary truck
� Brian and Liz Quinn (Josie, 4th and Ellie, 2nd) - Pirates
� Bryan and Amy Williams (Sophia, 4th and Scarlett, 1st) - Pirates

Sick of all that Halloween Candy???
The VFW donation box will be in the front office until tomorrow & then it is headed to the desert!!
The England Family will collect your unwanted Halloween candy & ship it to the Troops in Afghanistan. Our local VFW sends about 100 boxes of donated goods to the Troops on the front lines every month & we like to remind them of home as much as we can. This is the best time of the year to ship chocolate so drop all your extra candy in the VFW Halloween box in the front office this Friday. Feel free to also drop cards/letters/drawings for the soldiers in too.
Monday is Veterans Day!

Pre-K 2014-2015
It is time to apply for our amazing program. Please know that siblings of our current families have priority to get into our Pre-K but we need to know that you want your child in the program. Please take a moment right away to fill out an application (available online under the admissions tab) or hard copy at the front desk. Please either mail or drop it off at the front desk along with the $25 fee by November 22nd and your family will be assured to be in the 1st round of consideration for 2014-2015 Pre-K. You will then be automatically included in the final step of the process to secure your spot which will include signing/returning a letter of intent and a providing a non-refundable deposit (around $420) that will be applied toward your total tuition due for the 2014-2015 school year. Please feel free to email Susana Knapp if you have any questions.
Car stickers are available in the front office again. Stop by to get yours today!
After School Academic Assistance
All of our teachers have at least two days each week after school set aside to help students who are struggling either with a particular assignment or with a subject (many also meet with students before school and/or during lunch). In order to ensure that this time is used effectively, please do not send students for after school academic assistance who are not in that teacher's class (i.e., siblings). Siblings who are not in that class will be sent to ESS. Also, please do not send students to their class as just a place to start on homework. The teachers are there to provide specific help for students who need it. Thank you for your cooperation. - Mr. Burroughs
