STUDENT NEWS: Cafeteria News, Ram Run forms, Picture Day
·         Cafeteria News--Our cafeteria workers have seen several unopened food items being thrown away by the children, including foods they bring from home. With the current national emphasis on nutritional school lunches and amount of discarded food (wastefulness), we ask that parents speak with their children about bringing home their unwanted items, or saving them for an after school snack.

·         Picture Day--Lifetouch will be taking student pictures and class homeroom pictures on Monday, September 17. Students in grades PreK through 7th will be in their school uniforms; 8th grade only is out of uniform. All students were given information on purchasing the portraits. Fall sports will also have their team pictures taken-volleyball, cross country, football cheerleaders, and football (Coach Dearing may have separate pictures taken as well).  Athletes, please bring your uniform to school that morning.
