Text Box: From Mrs. Nelson — Sure signs of fall: a change in the weather, cicadas in the cottonwoods, Halloween candy in the stores and FOOTBALL! We are a sea of red here at Cottonwood for the first Husker game. I remember a couple of years ago when a kindergartner was practicing her letters with flash cards: “B— that’s for boy”; “E — that’s for elephant”; “N— that’s easy! N stands for Huskers!” Now that we are settled, it is a good time to remind everyone of some routine practices here at school: Birthdays— Invitations to birthday parties should not be given out at school unless the whole class is invited. When the Cottonwood Connection comes out with addresses, it will make that task a lot easier! If you are sending flowers or balloons to school to recognize a birthday, be advised that the child will not receive the gift until the end of the day. It’s just too disruptive to the class. Appointments— Please send a note to school with your child if you are picking him/her up early. That way we can make the transition from class to car go much faster and smoother! Lost and Found— As you get ready to send coats, hats and gloves to school, visions of the piles of Goodwill donations last spring pop into mind. Please write your child’s name in those articles of clothing so that they can be returned when abandoned! Have a great long weekend— and GO BIG RED! — NN

· Even though the children are small, we want them to understand the concept of modesty and dressing appropriately for “work.” Thin-strapped and backless tops should have a shirt or cover-up of some sort that can be worn with them.

· Running on wood chips in backless shoes is dangerous! Please provide appropriate footwear for the playground.
