SCHOOL PICTURES AND RETAKES
School pictures are in and will be sent home with students today. If you are dissatisfied with your child’s picture or if your child was absent on picture day, Lifetouch will return on Thursday, November 29th to take new pictures. All pieces of the original picture packet must be returned for a student to have their picture retaken. If your student was absent on picture day, please return their picture order form and total payment due on November 29th. Picture order forms are available in the main office.

We have new to gently used coats (children through men’s/women’s sizes) that we are able to give to anyone in need. Please remember that all information is kept strictly confidential. Also, if you would like to donate a new or gently used coat and/or clothing, you can drop it off in the main office during business hours. Thank you!
S’MORE FOOD DRIVE
Ok, all you happy campers, the end of the camping trip is near! Will Mrs. Witt’s 2nd grade class stay in first or will Mrs. Clarke’s 3rd grade class pass them for the win?? And don’t forget Ms. Gifford’s 2nd grade class, they are not too far behind in 3rd place. Mrs. Witt’s 2nd grade class won the extra recess last week! Who will be the first class to get to sit around the bonfire? Just remember not to melt under the pressure and become an ooey-gooey mess! You have one last day to gather your canned goods and/or donations of money to try to get to the bonfire first! Camanche Elementary is sticking together to get our food pantry filled!
