CONFERENCES
We will be dividing up our conferences this year due to our lack of available parking at Clegg Park. We hope that this change will make it easier for families to get in and out of conferences easily. The Kindergarten through 3rd grades will have conferences during the week of November 10, 4th through 6th grades will have conferences the week of November 17. Teachers will be sending home notes soon to ask for your available times. Teachers will sign you up for conferences this year; you do not have to come to the school to sign up. Thank you for working with us this year.

PICTURE RETAKES
The photographers will return to Western Hills on Monday, October 20th for retakes at 9:10 a.m.  If your child was absent on the day pictures were taken, send your money envelope with payment on the 20th.  Those who need pictures retaken must bring their pictures packages with them.  Additional picture envelopes are available in the office.

CALLING ALL BOX TOPS
We are ready for the first “official” BOX TOPS collection of the year. Please turn in any BOX TOPS that you might still have at home by Friday, October 17. Each class will be busy counting their BOX TOPS to see which 3 classrooms will win the top prize.
It helps a great deal if you make sure your BOX TOPS are trimmed, counted, and inside a plastic bag marked with your child’s classroom.
**Remember…we are no longer collecting Campbell Soup Labels/etc. Thanks! Any questions?? Carey Buchanan (633-5915)

CARING & SHARING
Make A Difference Week is October 20-24, 2008.The West Des Moines Community School District is MAKING A DIFFERENCE by collecting items at each school. Everything will be donated to the West Des Moines Human Services Food Pantry. Western Hills families are being
asked to donate toilet tissue and Kleenex boxes. There is also the opportunity to contribute to the
Koins For Kids Drive sponsored by West Des Moines Human Services. All coins will be donated to a recreational scholarship fund for West Des Moines children. Watch for MAKE A DIFFERENCE flyers and a collection site at school to drop off your donations. Together all of us can “Make A Difference”. Any questions contact Terry Soto or Carey Buchanan.
