Kate Waller Barrett Elementary

"Kate's Caring Kids" is a wonderful program started in the tender, caring spirit of Kate Waller Barrett. Each month we will pick a local person, family or organization in need of assistance. Each classroom has a plastic jar in which to collect money. The students may bring in money any time throughout the month, but the main collection day will be the last Friday of the month. This month the money collected will go to the Heavenly Hats Foundation. This organization donates brand new hats to cancer patients who lose their hair due to cancer treatments.

The second PTO meeting of the year is tomorrow from 6:30 to 7:15 p.m. in the library. Baby sitting will be provided for ages 3 and older. Little ones are welcome to stay with parents.

Spirit Day is Oct. 5. Show your spirit and wear our school colors or Tigerwear.
