IMPORTANT NEWS!!!
We will be having a fundraising car wash on September
30th at Wal-Mart parking lot. It will start at 9:00 and last
throughout the afternoon. This car wash will be for buying
a copier for our Resource Center. Wal-Mart is helping us.
They are going to match the amount we make. We are in
great need to all the families that are willing to help. If
there are any supplies you can bring then please do so. We
will have a small reward for each child that comes and
participates. Also, whoever comes to help will get a
discount on their school t-shirts that we are taking orders
for this month. If you are going to make it then it would be
very helpful if you let us know ahead of time. Of course, if
you decide you can come at the last minute then we would
deeply appreciate it.
REMINDER:
Please make sure your children stay inside at the Resource Center
when
there is not a scheduled activity going on outdoors. We did have
some
children get scratched up at our last activity.
Watch for a school directory to be put into your mailbox at the
Resource
Center during the next couple of weeks.
If you would like to see our wonderful website then check it out!!!
Our web
address is listed at the top of this newsletter.
Anyone needing a teacher card or report card then pick one up at
the
Resource Center.
Save your Campbell's labels as well as Prego, Pepridge Farm, V-8
and box
tops. Turn them in at the Resource Center.
If you have any school cookbooks that the school is selling for
the copier
fundraiser then please turn in your sale money with your October
tuition by
the 5th.
THANKS TO:
We had several books and software donations from families this
month and
we do sincerely appreciate it.
Also a special thanks goes to one of our parents who gave us a
generous
donation to help out with the school.

October 9th - T-shirt purchase deadline. We have found a place
that deals with making t-
shirts for homeschool cover schools. They are running a great
special for about a month.
We thought the children and even some parents would like to have
shirts to wear to
different events and field trips we go on. A lot of parents have
mentioned having these
shirts so the kids can all match when we go on an outing. Most of
the children will have
these so if you don't want your child to miss out then you must
place your order with the
group. There will be a really neat front on the t-shirt
pertaining to homeschool and the
back will have the name of the school. You may order any size for
adults (small,
medium, large, Xlarge, and XXlarge) and any size for your child (
small, medium, and
large). They are $8.00 for adult and $7.00 for a child. That will
include the name on
back and the shipping. You may order sweatshirts instead of t-shirts,
but they do cost a
little more. If you are interested in the sweat shirt prices then
see Kim. You could
always wear a turtle neck under a t-shirt in the winter time.
Please include in with your
money: what size and if it is for a student or a mother. If you
or your child helped with
the car wash then they will be due a discount. Please check with
Greta or Kim before
placing your order to see how much your shirt will be.

NO PHOTOGRAPHY on this tour due to religious beliefs. We will
meet in Scottsboro at
the front of Food World parking lot and leave at 8:00 SHARP. If
you do plan on meeting
us there then please let the school know so we know who to expect
to show. If you prefer
meeting us at the entrance to the community then you will be
supplied with a map and
directions once you sign up and pay to attend the field trip. You
would need to meet us at
the entrance somewhere between 11:00 - 11:30. If you plan on
doing this then please be
on time since the school will be writing out one check to pay for
everything so we can
have the group rate. We will eat lunch as soon as we get there
and then go on the tour

need to call the school phone the night before or morning of the

like to be in the
Halloween coloring contest then pick up your coloring sheet and
list of rules at the
resource center. It will be entered in different age groups and
will be judged and awarded
at the Halloween party. You must be present to win.
October 30th - Pumpkin Patch Field Trip at Tate Farms. This 2

Our tour will be from 9:00 - 11:00. We will meet at the front of
Food World Parking lot
and leave at 7:45 a.m. If you prefer meeting us there then please
join up with us at the

Huntsville. Before
you head up the mountain into the city of Huntsville you will
come to a redlight. That is
Moores Mill Road. Turn right on this road and go 8 miles. Tate
Farms is on the right. If
