Get ready to smile!

Picture day at Sheckler Elementary School will take place Wednesday, Oct. 9.

***

Friday, Oct. 10, is Fire Prevention day at Sheckler.

The Catasauqua Fire Department will visit the school to educate students on the importance of staying safe in the event of a fire as well as how to prevent fires.

Students will also have an opportunity to see the firetrucks up close and personal and receive some first hand knowledge on what it takes to be a firefighter as well as the gear they must wear.

A reminder that the first submission for the BoxTops for Education contest running at Sheckler is coming to a close.

However, there is still time to get those box tops in to your child's class to help their classroom be the top collecting class in their grade level.

You may continue sending in box tops after that day even though Sheckler collects them all year. Any box tops submitted after the contest will go toward the next contest.

Every box top is worth 10 cents and helps earn cash for the school.
