This week at the Garden School it’s going to be in the seventies, so long pants and short sleeved shirts are the best choice!

We are still collecting for the aged. Please think of them this week while you shop. A new shirt, a nightgown, a fuzzy pair of slippers, a new tooth brush, a pretty bow…all things taken for granted by us the mobile, and such a treat for someone confined at home.

On Thursday, we will be having a visit from the State Police to do a safety awareness day. Todd Ringle, an old friend, is coming with his men to treat the kids to all the police talk they can muster for the afternoon.

This week we will have a candy day. Either fudge or caramels will grace our tongues!

On Friday, we will have a stone soup day. Stone soup is a soup made from food brought by kids and mixed in a pot. Please remember these items must be store-bought and sealed.

In Kindergarten we will be introducing a new book called “It’s Halloween.” I hope the children love this book. There is much more reading and many more new words.

One of my distant acquaintances in Uganda runs an orphanage for 600 children. Over the years, because of the generosity of our parents, we have never taken advantage of our Scholastic dollars that we have earned by having book fairs. This week, I am spending $950.00 on books from Scholastic and we are sending them to Uganda compliments of the Garden School children. More about this later!

Have a great week!
