• Report Cards go home next Thursday, November 17.  
• There will be a Faculty Meeting next Thursday.  Michael Berg from SIU will be here to discuss school safety.
• Terrific Kids will come down to the Media Center next Friday at 1:15 to receive their packets and to be recorded for WFTV.
• The deadline for Falcon Express articles is next Friday.  I am now sending the Falcon Express newsletter to our parents via email so more parents now have access to this.  It would be great to have news from each of the grade levels in the Falcon. 

Poem of the Week - This is a great one from Langston Hughes entitled "Dreams":

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
