Parents' Guild Book Club
We will be meeting in the Garden Room at 8:15am on Thursday, November 15th. The book we will be discussing is American Dervish by Ayad Akhtar. This book has been met with amazing praise from reviewers and booksellers; it is a "coming of age story that illuminates the everyday lives of Muslims in America" but also provides universal insights. Mr. Nerstheimer has a copy on hand for any adult interested in borrowing it. Please contact Joanne Reardon with any questions and/or to RSVP for the gathering at reardonjoanne@att.net.
Tucker Leadership Visits
On October 9, sixth graders went to Tucker Leadership Lab, located on the campus of William Jewell College in Liberty. The 7th graders made their annual visit a few days later on October 11. Under the direction of site leaders, small groups of students spent the day engaging in a variety of activities designed to foster goal setting, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. This field trip provides a number of challenging activities which students approach with the general goal of finding a way for all to be successful. The weather was perfect, the activities were engrossing, and a good time was had by all!
2012 Buddy Run
The Parents' Guild Buddy Run is able to fund many programs that are important to our children and school, most notably, our Cultural Arts programming. This includes field trips to the Kauffman, Nelson, Coterie and Kansas City Repertory Theater to curriculum enrichment programs put on at the school. Thank you to everyone who made this great event possible!

A very special thank you to this year's Buddy Run co-chairs, Mary Morris and Amy Graham.

Thank you to Chartwells for sponsoring the Buddy Run Lunch where we raised $522.23!
On October 16 the third grade classes celebrated Oregon Trail Day. The third graders dressed as pioneers and participated in old fashioned activities. Some of the activities were writing with a quill and ink, sewing quilt squares, making homemade applesauce, creating decorative tin punch designs, playing games and taking part in lessons in a “one-room schoolhouse”. With the wonderful help of the 3rd grade parents, a delicious lunch was served. It was a terrific day for everyone!
