We invite all ticket holders to join us on October 16th @7pm at the Acker residence to celebrate this fundraiser and to announce the winners of the cash prizes.

The kids enjoyed the sauces so much that they returned for seconds.Thank you Suzi Berg and your committee for providing the children such a tasty treat!
The 22nd Annual Little Apple Fun Run- Something fun to do on Sunday morning October 25th with the family and benefits the Lloyd Harbor School. 1 Mile Fun Run begins at 9:30am, 5K begins at 10:30am
YEARBOOK: We need your help to create a beautiful keepsake for our children. We need 2 parents to cover sales … this is done mostly online and you really don’t start until March. Also, needed are parents from 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade to prepare candid pages…we have no one from these grades on the committee and we really need your help. The work is minimal and yearbook pages can be done in your own time. It is as easy as using Shutterfly or creating a photobook. Any help would be most appreciated. Contact me at milanakat@yahoo.com to volunteer.
Get your pictures in the yearbook! The Yearbook Staff invites students and parents to submit photos for the yearbook. If you’ve got great photos of school and community events or you and your friends just having fun, we’d like to see them. Our photographers can’t be everywhere. Help us get as many photos as possible to create a terrific book everyone will want to have.
Here is how you can submit photos online:
• Go to: https://images.memoryebooks.com/login
• If it does not automatically log you into the site, enter username: 403103590
• Browse to select the photo(s) you wish to upload.
• Enter information about the photo and provide contact information in case the staff needs additional information.

It’s that easy! Submit your photos today!
Thank you, and enjoy the rest of the school year!
