TOMS Conference Potluck
In appreciation for the extra time that TOMS teachers put in during conferences, we are planning a potluck for Thurs. Oct. 10 to make their night a little easier. Please consider bringing a hearty appetizer, soup, salad or dessert. The teachers and staff will be very grateful!
You can drop off your items in the teacher's lounge/office before 2:00pm on Oct. 10 and pick up any containers after 7:00pm or on Friday. If your item is best served hot, please bring in crockpot/warming dish. (Please use disposable containers -- and disposable plastic liners for crockpots -- to minimize clean-up.)
SPAN October Meeting
SPAN (Synergy/SAGE Parent Action Network) is the Prior Lake/Savage
chapter of Minnesota Council for the Gifted and Talented (www.mcgt.net ). Our first meeting will be on Monday

welcome speaker Erin Boltik (Director of Gifted Programs and Services in the
Bloomington School district) to talk about Gifted 101…What every parent of a
gifted child should know. In particular,
Erin’s presentation is designed to help parents understand the needs of
schools, affirm their position as an essential advocate for their child, and
support everyone’s efforts to do what is best for a child/student. Please email Apryl at span.priorlake@gmail.com with questions and/or to be included on the
