Mara's Memos
October was so much fun! We finished up our Keepers of the Kingdom VBS and collected $131.31 for our BackPack Ministry. Thanks so much for helping our community. We had a great time reading and dressing up as our favorite storybook characters last month.

Congratulations to the following classes who won the reading contest: the Lions with 154 books read and in the younger classes the winner was the Ladybugs class with 58 books read! We were so impressed with Bri and Lynnell's costumes. They both won the teacher's costume contest! We hope these fun activities generate some excitement for reading and that you will continue reading with your child at home. Shared storybook reading is an important part of a child's vocabulary, cognitive, and socio-emotional development.

If your class didn't win the reading contest, you have another contest to crush in November. We will have a food drive the first three weeks of the month. The class with the most points at the e n d of the competition will win a small prize. Every item brought in will earn 1 point. Keep an eye out for double point items that will be occasionally announced! All food will go to our Church's food pantry, where we help people in need in our local community. This is a great way to help children learn to give back and help those in need. Thanks so much for your support!
