The signing of the World War I Armistice took place in a railway coach near the battle zone in France. The bugles sounded cease fire and the hostilities ended, marking a most significant moment in world history.

While Veterans Day is primarily a tribute to Americaʼs living veterans, and is typically observed more as a celebration than as a somber remembrance (Memorial Day), it is always appropriate to include a moment of respect for those who gave their lives for our country.

This week, students had the opportunity to celebrate Veteran's Day.  In honor of our heroes, the students were invited to wear hats to say, “Hats Off to Our Heroes!”  The students also had a bulletin board where they could write the name of their hero and tell why that person is special to them!  Thanks to all those heroes in our lives!

Thanks to our wonderful PTO, the Mt. Loafer teachers were able to receive new books from the Book Fair for their classrooms!  The PTO set up a wonderful Book Fair and made $3,100.00.  Six-hundred dollars of that was used for books for teachers' classrooms.  The rest of the money went to purchasing books for the library.  Thanks to our great PTO for helping to promote reading at our school!

Mt.

Boys and Ghouls at Mt. Loafer had a Happy, Haunting, Halloween!  A full moon must have turned our ordinary students into creepy creatures, scary skeletons, weird witches, vivacious vampires, marvelous minions, and delightful Duck Dynasty Characters!  This Halloween Holiday began with a petrifying parade, where the students showed off their crafty costumes!  At lunch time, two wacky witches served the students a cup of witches' brew!  Then all the classrooms gathered for parties to celebrate this haunting holiday!  HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

Did you survive the spook ally?  Did you touch a live snake?  Did you get your fortune told by the haunted head?  If you did, you were the lucky ones at the Halloween Carnival!  Our wonderful PTO sponsored this fabulous fundraiser where games, food, prizes, and lots of scary activities were enjoyed by all the boys and ghouls who came!  We can’t thank  our great PTO enough for this wonderful activity, and also thanks to the parents and children who came and supported this fun event!  Thanks so much!

Jarel Estrada was the big winner of the day, receiving a gift certificate from WalMart!  Jarel's name was drawn out of the Ken Garff Reading Box, where all the students who met the reading goals for this term were kept.  He will get to use his certificate for a scooter, an ipod shuffle, or a bike!  Congratulations Jarel!  Keep reading, Grizzlies!
