The week ahead

October has arrived and it is time to look at some activities that will be taking place.

First it is Homecoming week for LHS. The parade is on Wednesday and the football game on Friday. It is Hillcrest night at the game and students from Hillcrest are asked to help the football team get on the field. So, sixth graders can arrive at 6:30 to be prepared to cheer on our football team as they enter the field. Please do not drop off your child to be picked up after the football game. If you are not able to stay at the stadium with your child, please have them picked up by 7:00, next to the fire truck and ambulance.

Also this week is our second VIPS meeting. It will be Tuesday night at 6:30 pm. If you attended the first meeting, you can pass up this one. It will be the same information. We are still looking for dad's to help with the Watch DOGS (Dad's of Great students) program. If you are available, please come to the meeting.

As a huge Mizzou fan, Thursday is the Mizzou vs. Nebraska game in Columbia. Although it is a big game, please make sure your child is still getting the rest they need to be successful at school on Friday. I would hate for a short fuse at school to cause someone not to be able to attend the Homecoming game at the HS because they got in trouble.

Have a great week and enjoy this exciting time of year!
