From Shoshana Finacom:

OCTOBER BEAUTIFICATION DAY IS THIS SATURDAY!
Help us keep Brewer beautiful by joining us for the next
Beautification Day this Saturday, October 10, from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM.
You can stay all morning, or just come for an hour or so. Either way,
please stop by. We rely on YOU to help keep our gardens looking great.
We’ll provide a light breakfast and lunch. Student volunteers also get a
FREE treat after school on Monday! If you have your own garden tools,
please bring them. If not, that’s OK. We have a great supply of tools
just waiting for your arrival.
Are you interesting in working at a strategic level to help keep
Brewer beautiful? If so, please consider joining the Facilities
Committee. We have an amazing group of folks in place, so you can be
sure to have a fun way to get involved and really make a difference at
the school. We meet at 6:00 PM the third Tuesday of each month, just
prior to the PTSA meeting. If you have questions, or would like to join
us at our next meeting, please send me a note at lyoung-at-advent-dot-com.

From Mr. Pitt-Smith:

The Jazz Band has its first public appearance of the year at this
Saturday’s Dimond District Oaktoberfest. We will be on the main stage
at 4:00 pm. Come and support and listen to the Brewer Jazz Cats throw
down!

I’ve got a whole lot of tests to grade, but I’m going to try to make it.

This week’s email from Shoshana Finacom.

If you came in before school, after school, or at lunch today to make up the quiz from Friday or to turn in last week’s homework packet, I’ve now added those scores to the grade book on TeacherEase.

If you haven’t come in to get me that work yet, you need to do so as soon as possible if you want to be able to get credit for that missing work. Remember, the end of the marking period is Thursday.

Burger and Bingo Night has been POSTPONED!

This makes me sad.
