OK. My heart is still singing the praises offered so exuberantly by our children during Grandparents Day. Isn't that such a joyous morning of celebration? Thank you to every one of you for helping or hosting a classroom full of grandparents and kiddos. Pat and I heard nothing but pure joy and appreciation expressed from the departing wave of grandparents. It's no easy day and I know our rooms are beyond overflowing, but THANK YOU for sharing your passion for this calling with this generation of loving, supportive grandparents.
And, oh my! Thank you to Todd! He has been SPINNING this week. All behind the scenes, before school, after school...you name it, he's been doing it. Thank you, Todd, for doing your part to pull this event off so seamlessly. He was working to help seat older folks in chairs and then wheeling their walkers out to an impromptu "walker parking lot". He rolled oxygen tanks out once the owner was properly situated. Todd opened the gates and directed traffic with a smile. As you see in the above photo, he even came to the rescue for a mom who ran out of gas in carpool...IN THE RAIN! Thanks for all you do, Todd. We have a strawberry cheesecake with your name on in tomorrow morning.
LOVE
Thank you for sharing prayers, comments and love with Gretchen and Stacia this past Sunday. Here is a message I received from Gretchen which she asked me to share with you:
"I'm not always sure what goes on at South Side, but this weekend my family andI was the recipient of a team of teachers, and friends who poured out love, thoughts, and prayers for my family since it marked the 1 year since Dave's death. I can't even begin to explain how this support has carried me through this past year. When I am at peace--it is because of you prayer warriors interceding on my behalf. So whether you want to call it "Love Does" or "Life Together" or "All In"----I know others care. Please thank your team for this!
So privileged to belong to this HC family!"Collaboration Days

Feeding the masses
Our hot lunch count has been oddly off recently. This can cause the second grade servers to walk away with something they were not expecting to eat. We do pad the count with a few extras, but we're even tipping beyond that from time to time. If you have a little one who is tardy or makes a late lunch choice, please remember to inform Pat so the order can be adjusted accordingly. Thank you!
Report Cards
Keep in mind, please, report cards are due in Gradebook by Tuesday. Pat and I will get them printed and into your hands by Wednesday at the close of the day for distribution. They will go home next Wednesday, October 19.
Calendar Items
Please take note on our staff calendar, we will have hearing and vision testing for our kids on October 25-27.
Picture Retake Day
School picture retakes will be on October 27 in the morning. Please mention this in your blog. If students would like a retake, they must bring back their original packet for a trade in.
