**REMINDERS for forms this week
LAST CALL FOR JUNIOR CLASS SHEET SALES!**
Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 4th, is the LAST DAY to get your orders in!
These sheets have been popular, and we are excited to bring them back! If you have been thinking about ordering, now is the time. Don't miss out!
Please get your orders in by tomorrow. You can place an order with any junior or Mrs. Mette.
**HOLIDAY MEAL BASKET SIGN-UPS ARE ALSO DUE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH!**
Whether you are signing up to receive assistance for the holidays or are willing to help another family, we NEED those forms returned!
We have had quite a few forms come back from families needing assistance, but so far, only a handful of people have signed up to help. If you, your family, business, classroom, or group would be willing to put together a holiday meal basket, please consider signing up!
Once forms are returned, I will give you the family size, number of children, ages, and any specific needs so you know what to put together. **Names are never shared.** We keep everything confidential to protect the privacy of the families receiving assistance. We can only help the number of families that we get assistance for.
There are families who could really use a little extra help this holiday season, and it takes all of us working together to make that happen.
**Please get all forms turned in by Friday, November 6th!**
Thank you to everyone who continues to support our students, families, and community!

❤️ Help Us Make the Holidays a Little Brighter! 🦃🎄
We’re looking for families, teams, organizations, businesses, and community members who would be willing to provide a holiday basket meal for a family in need for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or both!
We’ve had a few forms come back already, and we’re hoping to get the rest in by next week. Once we know how many families need assistance and how many sponsors we have, we’ll match them up!
Here’s how it works: ❤️ You let us know if you’d like to help with Thanksgiving, Christmas, or both. ❤️ Once the forms are returned, we’ll assign you a family and let you know how many adults and children are in the household. ❤️ You prepare the meal basket and return it to the school, where it will be delivered to the family.
We do our best to help as many families as possible, but it all depends on the number of people willing to sponsor a meal. Every family we can match with a sponsor is one more family that gets a little extra help during the holidays.
If your family, team, organization, business, or group would like to participate, please reach out! We’ll get a form to you and answer any questions you may have.
📧 Contact: colleen.metti@k12.sd.us
Thank you for helping our community take care of one another. ❤️
Good grows here! 🌱
**Thanksgiving and Christmas Meal Assistance Forms**
This is a two-part form. The **top portion is for families who would like to receive meal assistance**, and the **bottom portion is for individuals, families, or classrooms who would like to help**.
If you are a student who needs assistance, please take a form home for your family to fill out. Extra forms are available in both the elementary and high school offices. You can pick one up from either office or stop down and get one from Mrs. Mette.
**All forms must be returned by Friday, November 6th.** No forms will be accepted after this deadline, so please make sure they are turned in on time.
Thank you to everyone who helps make sure our Trojan families have what they need for the holidays!
