I. Cookie Dough Fundraiser-
A big thank you goes out to all of our families who put in orders towards our cookie dough fundraiser. There were many boxes of cookies ordered, for which the Children's Hour Academy Foundation is very grateful. Thank you so much for your support!

II. Pumpkin Patch-
The Meridian Campus was so excited to go on our annual trip to Fir Point Farms today! Thank you to all of the parents who were able to chaperone this event. We appreciate you giving of your time and energy. We all had a great time because you were there!

III. Harvest Parties-
Classroom Harvest parties will be held on Friday, October 29th. If you have not signed up to bring anything for your child's classroom, please ask your child's teacher what you can contribute. Remember, no scary or gory costumes, and no candy with nuts. Also, please bring your child's costume in a separate bag, as we will change into them before classroom parties. Don't forget your candy bucket for classroom trick-or-treating!

IV. Clothing Reminder-
At the Meridian Campus we would ask that your child bring a weather appropriate jacket in with them to breakfast, as we usually get some fresh air from 8:10 until 8:30 am. Also, at both campuses, please make sure that your child's cubby is stocked with a weather appropriate change of clothing including socks and underwear. Thank you!

V. Auction Meeting-
Are you organized? Do you like to be a part of big events? Our Children's Hour Academy Foundation Auction is our largest fundraising event of the year. It is not to late to be a part of the Auction Committee. Feel free to attend the next Auction Meeting on November 2nd at 5 pm at the Meridian Campus library.
