Thursday we had our first General Association Meeting. Thank you to those of you that joined us! Our next one is scheduled for November 18 and I am hoping we will be able to resume our in person meetings for that one. Keep an eye out for future announcements about exact time and location.

Our first book fair was an absolutely huge success. We are still tabulating the total amount of proceeds from all of the sales, but early calculations are nearly double what we have done in the past. Not only do our little readers get their hands on new books but the fair also generates revenue that is returned to the school for purchasing a wide assortment of educational products. It really is a win-win event. Thank you to Norma Apodaca for her outstanding effort organizing and running this event!

Exciting things are beginning to come together this year. I am pleased to announce that we are officially bringing Literature Comes to Life back to campus after a substantial hiatus. This interactive and engaging assembly has been a hit with students, teachers and families in Alpine for a long time. We have also signed an agreement with APEX to have them return this year for their leadership training and the Fun Run. They will be on campus November 29 through December 10.

Our parking lot raffle has concluded. Thank you to those of you that supported the raffle and purchased tickets. The funds raised will help cover some of the costs associated with our programs for the year, helping us meet our mission. I would like to thank Erin Major, Denise Matheson, Norma Apodaca, Tamara Laatsch, Chrissy Manthorpe, Kristina Pollett and Crystal Lewis for volunteering your afternoons to make this a success. Have a great week everyone!
