Dear Parents,

We are excited about beginning the upcoming novel, Tuck Everlasting. However, we did not receive the number of books at the Book Fair that we expected. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

We have been searching diligently, trying to find the book from another source. Most sources we found were considerably more expensive than the cost the CMS Book Fair offered.

We did, finally, find enough copies of the book from Scholastic. They have agreed to make a special shipment for the remainder of the books. The cost will be the same, $ 3.28, per book. We will preorder the books, so please send money to pay for your book as soon as possible. You may send cash, or a check made out to CMS.

You are welcome to pick up your own copy locally. However, you will find that the price is considerably higher from other sources.

Thank you for your support.

Just for Kids

Students will receive Mid-Term progress reports on Monday, November 17. Please ask your child for it. These are due no later than Thurs., November 20.

Don't forget to buy your copy of Tuck Everlasting at the CMS Book Fair going on this week. The cost is $3.28 (including tax). This is an excellent price. We will begin reading the book November 24. It would be very helpful for every student to have their own book.

CMS will host our Annual Chili Supper on November 14, 2008 at 6:00 p.m. If you would like to participate, there are several ways to do so. The silent auction and live auctions are a great way to advertise your company and products. Students should have brought home order forms for spirit wear to order. They should also have brought home a form to pre order tickets for the Chili Supper. Tickets are $6.00. Each classroom has picked a theme basket.Support will be needed for these baskets. Please check with the students or theirteacher to find out what the basket theme is. These will be auctioned offat the live auction. There will be Karaoke, games and the auctions. Food and fun for everyone! Come out and support CMS. Please contact Stacey Moore at 615-594-7216 or Amy Hicks at 615-476-7304 with any questions. Sincerely, Amy HolmanSecretary, CMS PTO
