School Photos
As many of you are aware, school pictures came in yesterday. There were several errors in the photos, especially on the class photo pages. We are working with Lifetouch to have them reprinted. Remote students can pick up their pictures when they come for their pumpkins (see PTA information below).
Unity Day
Unity Day is tomorrow, Wednesday, October 21st. Make it ORANGE!! Here's a brief note from the WG Counselors: If you care about safe and supportive schools and communities, make your color ORANGE on Unity Day. On this day everyone can come together - in schools, communities, and online - and send one large ORANGE message of support, hope, and unity to show that we are united for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.
The Food Bank of CNY offers monthly boxes of food for families. Families can pre-order and use cash or EBT. The pickup spot is the Senior Center in Camillus. To schedule an appointment for pickup, call 315-672-5820. 
Forgiveness is the character strength focus for this week. Forgiveness is the ability to move past being injured, and allow yourself to reconcile with the person who hurt you. Forgiveness can often be seen as a selfless act, but it also carries many benefits for those who practice it. Admittedly, it is not one of my top strengths but I am working on it!

Periodically, our teachers may send your child home with their Chromebook and chargers to complete an assignment. Please help us by making sure they take care of the Chromebook, do the assignment, and return it to school the next day with the charger. Thank you!
Enjoy the rest of the week!
