 CARPOOL SAFETY!
I would like to make an appeal to those of you who drop off students for school each morning. We recognize that mornings can get harried for the best of us. If your child needs some time to get backpacks organized or gather belongings together before leaving the vehicle, we ask that you pull into a spot or pull up next to the curb to allow those cars behind you to continue the drop off. This consideration will make the carpool line run more smoothly and help us avoid a back-up on Langhorne Road as other cars are waiting. If you pull to an alternate spot, please walk your child to the sidewalk rather than allowing them to cross the parking lot alone. Our teachers on duty will be vigilant in their duties to assist you. Thank you for putting safety first and for showing consideration to other parents and families.
All the best, Mrs. Culbreth
 FALL FESTIVAL A SUCCESS! Thank you to the many volunteers who made our 2nd Annual Fall Festival a great success! The children loved the pony rides, the bouncy house and the magician! The adults had fun sampling chili from 15 teams and enjoying some time among friends. We all enjoyed listening to the great music by The Williams Brothers. This event could not happen without the support of our community -- thanks to all! Save the date for next year -- the first weekend in November!
Report Cards and Student Information on Renweb
Report cards for students in grades PK-12 are now available on Renweb. Click on Student Information, Report Cards to view your child's 1st quarter report card. Apparently some of our parents are unable to access information (report cards, etc.) on the Renweb Parentsweb screen. There appears to be a compatibility issue with Renweb and Internet Explorer. To fix this problem, click on the little blue "torn paper" icon in the browser bar (located between the lock icon and the refresh button to the right of your Renweb address). Once you click on this you should be able to view Renweb contents. Sorry for the inconvenience! Contact the office if you are still unable to view student information.
Spirit Wear SaleThere will be a special holiday Gael Spirit Wear sale from November 11-15. Stay tuned for details. Middle School News: On October 25th, we had our first social of the year. A special thanks to our decorating "expert" Mrs. Matthews and her helpers Mrs. Golden and Hannah and Mrs. Raso. The cafeteria was transformed. October 30th was our Middle School Fall Movie Day. After a morning of academics, we enjoyed delicious snacks while watching movies. Thank you to all of the families who shared snacks and especially to Mrs. Guglielmetti, Mr. Edwards and Mrs. Speicher for setting up, serving, and cleaning up. We appreciate all that you do. October 31st, middle school students trick or treated for UNICEF Eliminate. Donations are due on Monday to Mrs. St. Angelo and the Key Club. Thank you for your support.

HS Dinner Theatre November 8
Plan to attend the HS Dinner Theatre presentation of the one-act play, Cyrano de Bergerac on Sunday, December 8 (note date change).

You will laugh and cry -- don't miss this event. Click on this flyer for more details: Cyrano Dinner TheatreBreakfast with Santa and Christmas Bazaar will be held Saturday, December 7,  and we will need your help.
