Join the 8^th Gr. class as they Walk for Autism on Sat, Oct. 10 at 10AM in the upper Muny parking lot.  To support by either walking or donating, visit www.nowforautism.org, click "St. Louis", then "Donate", then "Support a Walker" & enter Cyndi Hunt as the walker's name or call Cyndi (283-0450) or Liz Gruenbacher (288-5088).  A wonderful cause!

It's time to save those tab tops for Ronald McDonald House.  The 1^st Gr. Daisies will collect the tabs from boxes in the classrooms each month.  The class with the most tabs will be treated with ice cream at year's end.  Area donations amounted to $20,000 last year to help families of severely ill children.  Every tab, whether soda or soup, counts!
