CALUMET ART CENTER FUND RAISER AND POTLUCK TONIGHT!!!
Tonight at the Calumet Art Center, at 6:30, there will be a potluck that everyone is invited to attend.  The fundraiser that some of our students painted canvases for will be for sale.  I believe the cost of the paintings will be $25.  The money from the sale of the paintings will be used to keep the utilities on at the Center so that it can remain open all winter.

Please consider coming to the potluck tonight, with even a simple snack for your family, and consider purchasing a painting.

If you aren't able to come to this fundraiser, but would like to support the Calumet Art Center, we are close in the process of becoming a non-profit organization.  Consider becoming a member (for $100) or make any size donation.  With this being the first winter the Art Center will be open in this old church, heating costs are a concern.  The donations will be used to keep the heat on!
Hope to see you there!

MTU FIELD TRIP

I am in the process of organizing for our kids to attend the below described field trip about raptors, at MTU on October 29th in the afternoon.  One thing is, they will not allow anyone younger than 2nd grade to attend due to the controlled environment necessary for the presentation—so we will need to leave our babies behind.

I am going to request the 1:30 until 2:15 timeframe, but it is not certain we will get that time until over a week from now.
Please respond to (withheld for archive)by October 19th, if you are interested in attending.  Please identify the grade levels of your students.  Once I fill out the request form, I don't think we'll be able to add more students unless the public schools don't fill up the session with their students.

further the learning experience— showcasing wings, talons, eyesight and
