AMS FOOD DRIVE CHALLENGE CONTINUES!
We have had a great response to the start of our SL@AMS Food Drive.
The SL@AMS (Service Learning At Algonquin Middle School) Club is sponsoring our school’s fall food drive to support the Sand Lake Kiwanis Thanksgiving Basket Program. Students are encouraged to bring in canned food items to help families in need in our community.
This year we are challenging the students to bring in a total of 750 canned food items. If we are able to make our goal, students will be allowed to wear Halloween Costumes on Friday, October 29!
Last year we issued a similar challenge and the entire school had a lot of fun both with the food drive and costume festivities. We hope this year will be the same.

PLEASE HAVE STUDENTS WEAR LAYERS
As the fall progresses and we continue to offer as much outside activity as possible, including lunch, we would like to encourage all of our students to wear layers each day to school.
Wearing layers will help students be ready for outdoor activities, as well as our increased fresh air in the building with open windows.
