Starting to Think about CIMI!
Although I have yet to get firm numbers from our trip planner, we need to be fund raising! Every parent will be responsible for organizing fundraisers for the group.
The kids are putting together plans for a bake sale at the October Volleyball tournament. We hope to have a good start on the bottom line from this sale, so start baking!!
Michelle Kretzmann is putting together a holiday craft sale. Do you craft? Does anyone in your family craft? bring your crafts to the school office to help us out!

The fun Run was a big success!
We raised $225 and several bags of food for the food pantry! All while getting a nice walk and lots of fresh air. All around good day!
7th Grade Isle Royale Trip!!
What a great trip we had this year! The weather could not have been better! We hiked and hiked and hiked, ate berries (Thimble berries are the hands down favorite!), saw Canada, talked about moose and wolves, studied the geology of the island, jumped in superior (BRRR!) and had a great time becoming a group of friends.
Thanks to everyone who supports this trip, what an awesome experience for us all.
