Reminder, the 32nd annual Thanksgiving Dinner, Dress-Up Day and Food Drive will be held at Sheckler Elementary School Nov. 20.

If you plan to attend to have lunch with your student this day, your payment is due along with the form that was sent home tomorrow. All parents and non-Sheckler students need to prepay. Student meals will be deducted from their lunch account as usual. Checks should be made payable to Catasauqua Cafeteria Fund.

Students must eat lunch with their own class and may not be pulled out to have lunch with a brother or sister who also attends the school.

Nonperishable food items and canned goods will be collected during the food drive and will be donated to Catasauqua Community Food Bank to help families in our area over the holidays.

If you are able to help with this worthy cause, items may be sent to school with your student on or before the day of the Thanksgiving Dinner.

Parent-teacher conferences will take place on Nov. 21, and Nov. 24-26 for grades 1-4.

Students will be dismissed at noon on these days and kindergarten will be on modified schedule. No lunches will be served on these days as well.

Sheckler students will be busy in the coming week making Christmas cards for military veterans. These cards will be picked up and delivered by a representative from the Catasauqua American Legion and delivered to veterans in local hospitals, veterans hospitals and personal care facilities after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Students really enjoy this project. What a special way of expressing a thankful heart and knowing you are going to be bringing a smile to someone's face in the spirit of the season.
