Fall is in the air! 
 
Welcome back to school! I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. It was beautiful. It’s nice to finally have some seasonal weather. 
 
As you know, we will be celebrating harvest day on Wednesday. Gilbert does not celebrate Halloween. No costumes or face painting is allowed. Students are encouraged to wear jeans & flannel shirts for Harvest day activities.  
 
On Wednesday afternoon, we will have a harvest day party. Mrs. Clark has graciously volunteered to bring cupcakes or cookies for the event. We could use drink boxes, napkins, plates, chips, dip, and candy, if you would like to send in anything.
