October

October: the month in which leaves change into their spectacular autumnal shades of oranges, reds, and yellows, summer heat seems like a distant memory and kids are all settled back into the routines of school - not to mention the promise of heaps of candy on the horizon! I hope everybody gets the chance to find a few minutes to reflect on and appreciate this wonderful and cozy time of year, especially after all of the hard work that was put into raising money through the Dance-a-thon! Otters, our booster event was a huge success and could absolutely not have been possible without all of you. Excellent job and thank you so much!

In lieu of an open house this year, Cedar River will be hosting a drive-thru Harvest Hurrah on October 21 at 5:30pm. There will be the opportunity to meet staff & the PTO followed by the students receiving a special treat bag. We hope to see you there!
