Hello Baltic Families!

October was “Be Thankful” month for Garaway Local Schools as we “Smile and Move” through our school year. We cannot thank you enough for your support of our students and our school. We had more than 125 grandparents and special friends at our special breakfasts to start the month. Our Book Fair helped each teacher spend 60 dollars each on new books for their classrooms. And the generosity you showed for our cabin teacher, Mrs. Metzger, and our Santa’s Pants author, Mr. David Lorah, was tremendous. Thank you all for caring and for helping!

Mr. Williams

Principal’s Corner

Safety Drill We will be performing our first lockdown drill of the school year on Tuesday, Nov. 1. The students have been taught the letters of ALICE which stand for ALERT, LOCKDOWN, INFORM, COUNTER and EVACUATE. In this day and age it is very important that we are proactive against intruders and we feel that we prepare our stu-dents in a sensitive yet realistic way. Please talk with your student(s) about this procedure and how im-portant it is. Dutch Valley Fundraiser We will once again be selling pies, cookie dough and vouchers for Dutch Valley for our PTO fundraiser. Our PTO is instrumental in helping with our field trips, with teacher and student rewards and helping the school in so many ways when it is in need. Goodbye Shorts Shorts may not be worn after October 31. Any student wearing shorts after that date will be sent to the office and parents will be called to bring in long pants. Veteran’s Day Breakfast Our Veterans Day breakfast will take place on Nov. 10. Veterans will eat a breakfast with their student and will be served by students. RSVP forms went home with each student. Please return those by Thursday, Nov. 3 so we can get a count for breakfast supplies. If you do not receive the RSVP form, simply write on a piece of paper the full name of the veteran, the name of the student or students eating with them, branch of the military, date served and location served along with a cool story or memory. Parent-Teacher Conferences Round 2

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, November 3 for our second round of parent/teacher confer-ences. If you need any information, please call the office at 330-897-7261.
