Notes from Sunday, October 1

Cupcakes for Coats is a go! We'll need to work on getting the word out this week. Ryan will put something in the newspaper and hang signs as a start. Remember, we plan to bake at Three Tiers on Saturday, Oct. 29. Delivery and pick-up will take place on Sunday, Oct. 30 following lunch at the church. We'll talk menus later!Leanne will take coat application forms to the grade school to be distributed by individual classroom teachers.

We have donated a lovely winter scene decorative set to Russell Child Development for its annual Fantasy Tree Festival. Stephanie will take care of pick-up and delivery.

We still plan to provide food for the yearbook kids' Nov. 10 Parcel Post Auction fundraiser. At this point, Ryan will make chili, and Leanne will make taco soup. We will provide relishes and cheese, paper goods, drinks, and desserts as well.

We've also begun brainstorming ways to develop our assessment incentive program for the Satanta schools. Karen thinks the junior high and school students would like some time off rather than the traditional assessment prizes. Nicole thinks that we should consider an assessment banquet at which we recognize all those who met and exceeded the standards. This is an idea that is certainly worth exploring. We'll discuss it further next Sunday!
