1) Just a reminder that we are still saving Boxtops For Education. As you do your holiday baking, please watch for the Boxtop labels on package items. Clip them and bring them into the LRC. We will use these points to buy additional materials for Jefferson. Thank you, Library Staff. The Book Fair will be open next Wednesday, November 26th and will run through Friday, December 5th in the library!

7) The 8th grade is sponsoring its 2nd Annual Food. Please help by bringing non-perishable food donations (please check expiration dates) to your home base by Friday, November 21st. We will be donating these items to a local food bank for distribution to people in the Dubuque Community.Morning Arrival Now that the weather has drastically changed and winter appears to be here it is important to dress warm. Gloves, hats, socks, etc. are needed to protect your body. The doors to school are normally opened at 7:30 am. If you are a walker, please do not come much earlier than 7:30 am. If you get a ride to school try to arrange it so you are here as late as possible. There is no guarantee that the doors will open earlier than 7:30 am expect on days were the temperature is 10 degrees or below or it is snowing. So make sure you are dressed warm enough to take the cold for 10-15 minutes outside when the temperature is above 10 degrees.
