Galva-Holstein Elementary's Mr. Hill's 5th grade students are Halloween Parade ready!


BOOK FAIR CORRECTION: The poster put out earlier for the book fair taking place at the Holstein Building during P-T conference had the incorrect days on it. It should say the Book Fair will be open in the Media Center in Holstein on Monday (Oct. 30th) and Thursday (Nov. 2nd) during Parent-Teacher Conferences, and also will be open Monday through Thursday this week before school. Sorry for the confusion!

ATTENTION RAPTOR MUSIC PARENTS of 6th-12th grade: our fundraising items are coming this Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 1st. Please make arrangements to have your products picked up for delivery by 4:00! All high school sellers' products will be delivered to the high school. 6th-8th graders: if you live in the G-H district, your products will come to the high school. If you live in the S-C district, your products will be delivered to the Middle School in Early.
Parents, if you can help unload the truck in Early or Holstein, or help distribute product boxes to the students, please let Mr. Petersen or Mr. Kistenmacher know. Thank you!

If you or anyone you know would be interested in helping out, please contact Mr. Joel Brus at jbrus@rvraptors.org, or you can call the High School office and ask for Marlo (Mr. Brus' AD Secretary).
