The cold weather has arrived!   Please make sure everyone has coats, hats, and gloves appropriate for the weather.   We like to get outside for recess as much as possible and students still walk to the church and gym in the cold.   In the event we cancel classes because of the weather we will send out phone and text messages.   School closings are also sent to WJER and WTUZ and posted on the Immaculate Conception and TCC Saints Facebook pages.   You need to sign-up to receive text messages.   If you have not done that, there is a flyer in the family envelope with instructions.  
 
Thank you for your support of the PTA Soup and Sandwich Luncheon and Basket Raffle.   The raffle raised $2,222 and the dinner profit was $1,300.   The recent PTA pie sale also raised $1,677. Thank you!!  Money raised by the PTA this year will be used for some major improvements to the playground.  The PTA Secret Santa sale will be December 9, 10 and 11.  Students will have a chance to purchase small gifts for their loved ones.  Volunteers will be needed!   Look for more information next week.  The PTA will meet Monday evening at 6:30 pm.  All are invited to attend.
 
The sixth grade will visit TCC Junior/Senior High School on Tuesday.   The visit will give the students more information about the programs and services available at TCC.

Immaculate Conception School participates in the Accelerated Reader program to encourage students to read as much as possible.  Every student has a goal for each grading period.   In the first quarter, ALL students met their goal!   Fourth grade student Olivia Coolman earned the most points in the school.  Congratulations! 

October 25th was Socktober for the Friends of the Homeless.   To earn the right to wear crazy socks to school, students and families donated socks for the homeless shelter.   We collected more than 400 pairs of socks!   The second grade sponsored the project.
