Halloween Party Thursday from 2:15-3:15

Halloween Party Information:
Children will change into their costume after they come back from music. (1:55)
Reminder that we are a nut-free school district…(we’re talking food here people! :) ) Please keep that in mind should you choose to send a treat with your child.
You do NOT need to send a snack for Thursday afternoon.
We will NOT have homework on Thursday, but will have some for the weekend.
Keep reading with your child each evening! The more we practice, the better we get!
Until next week….Mrs. S,
Fantastically Fun
Fridays will be held again this week! No pink slips=a fun surprise each Friday.
We are having a terrible time keeping the classroom bathroom clean. This involves all of us. We must use the trashcans, the sinks, and paper towel dispenser carefully and respectfully. Tina works hard to keep our room clean. We need to respect the building and the people who work here. If you are caught making a mess, you will clean it up.
WANTED: Two cake mixes and two cans of frosting for our reading class next week. If you can help us out, send a note in our BEAR binders!
Get Well Wishes to Amy Garrigan, one of our special school helpers. Amy will be having knee surgery on Thursday. We will miss her and hope she heals up quickly!
All State Chorus singers, along with Mrs. Foth, will be attending the Annual All State Chorus Concert this weekend in Sioux Falls. Lewis Hofer, Darby Wilson, Kendyll Jones, and Kole Pickner will represent SBHS at the event. Lewis is a four year member of this chorus….WOW! What an awesome honor for Lewis! This will be shown live on SDPB on Saturday evening.

Our local Advanced Ed Committee, chaired by Tara Watson and Lisa Handcock, has been busily preparing for our annual five year review on November 5-6. Outside evaluators will be visiting our school, community, students, and staff, to help us improve (and hopefully handout some pats on the back) for the work we have been doing the past few years. Should you see these people, please welcome them to our community..

Inside Story Headline

This story can fit 150-200 words.
One benefit of using your newsletter as a promotional tool is that you can reuse content from other marketing materials, such as press releases, market studies, and reports.
While your main goal of distributing a newsletter might be to sell your product or service, the key to a successful newsletter is making it useful to your readers.
A great way to add useful content to your newsletter is to develop and write your own articles, or include a calendar of upcoming events or a special offer that promotes a new product.
You can also research articles or find “filler” articles by accessing the World Wide Web. You can write about a variety of topics but try to keep your articles short.
Much of the content you put in your newsletter can also be used for your Web site. Microsoft Publisher offers a simple way to convert your newsletter to a Web publication. So, when you’re finished writing your newsletter, convert it to a Web site and post it.

Inside Story Headline

This story can fit 100-150 words.
The subject matter that appears in newsletters is virtually endless. You can include stories that focus on current technologies or innovations in your field.
You may also want to note business or economic trends, or make predictions for your customers or clients.
If the newsletter is distributed internally, you might comment upon new procedures or improvements to the business. Sales figures or earnings will show how your business is growing.
Some newsletters include a column that is updated every issue, for instance, an advice column, a book review, a letter from the president, or an editorial. You can also profile new employees or top customers or vendors.

“To catch the reader's attention, place an interesting sentence or quote from the story here.”

Selecting pictures or graphics is an important part of adding content to your newsletter.
Think about your article and ask yourself if the picture supports or enhances the message you’re trying to convey. Avoid selecting images that appear to be out of context.
Microsoft Publisher includes thousands of clip art images from which you can choose and import into your newsletter. There are also several tools you can use to draw shapes and symbols.
Once you have chosen an image, place it close to the article. Be sure to place the caption of the image near the image.

This would be a good place to insert a short paragraph about your organization. It might include the purpose of the organization, its mission, founding date, and a brief history. You could also include a brief list of the types of products, services, or programs your organization offers, the geographic area covered (for example, western U.S. or European markets), and a profile of the types of customers or members served.
It would also be useful to include a contact name for readers who want more information about the organization.

Back Page Story Headline

This story can fit 175-225 words.
If your newsletter is folded and mailed, this story will appear on the back. So, it’s a good idea to make it easy to read at a glance.
A question and answer session is a good way to quickly capture the attention of readers. You can either compile questions that you’ve received since the last edition or you can summarize some generic questions that are frequently asked about your organization.
A listing of names and titles of managers in your organization is a good way to give your newsletter a personal touch. If your organization is small, you may want to list the names of all employees.
If you have any prices of standard products or services, you can include a listing of those here. You may want to refer your readers to any other forms of communication that you’ve created for your organization.
You can also use this space to remind readers to mark their calendars for a regular event, such as a breakfast meeting for vendors every third Tuesday of the month, or a biannual charity auction.
If space is available, this is a good place to insert a clip art image or some other graphic.
