Reminder of the Hallowe'en Dance tomorrow for J.C. Hill students. Admission is $2.00 and all proceeds will go to the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. There will be treats, chips and pop for sale.


Multiple Sclerosis Foundation Readathon- Students will bring home pledge sheets tomorrow and can begin collecting sponsors for this very worthwhile cause. All students will participate in a daily readathon bootcamp at school in each class. Minutes will be recorded. The readathon will last from Nov. 2 - 13th. Students are to bring in sponsor money as it is collected if possible. For the first $10 a student collects, they may listen to their i-pod while they read. Once $20 is brought in, students will read, listen to their i-pod, and enjoy a sour key treat. There will be a special activity for students raising $50 +. The M.S. Foundation also awards prizes for amounts raised.

Let's aim for 100% participation in this worthwhile cause.
