We are in the midst of our magazine drive - our major fundraiser of the year. The proceeds from this fundraiser make possible most of what our PTA funds, including field trips, library books, artwork for the hallways, assemblies, honor roll breakfasts, 8th grade graduation party, and Teacher Appreciation Week. Please give it your full support. Questions? Contact Michele Brown via email at mdsar5@ameritech.net or Brenda Smaller at brendasmaller@yahoo.com.

All those concerned about class sizes in District 96 are encouraged to attend the next School Board meeting on Tuesday, September 19 at 7:30 pm at Ames School. A discussion of this issue is on the agenda.

Hauser music teacher Patty Gill has asked us to make the following announcement: The District 96 Music Faculty Recital will be held September 20 at 7 pm in the Hauser Auditorium. The concert’s theme is “Women in Music” and will feature songs by women composers, songs about women, and songs including women’s names. Voluntary donations will be accepted at the door to benefit the Leonard Babb and Bruce Perryman Scholarship Funds. These funds are used to help send music students to summer music camps.
