have all felt the crunch of our recent
economy in one way or another. Our
school district does offer school lunch
service on a free and/or reduced fee
basis for families who may qualify. We
invite families to consider this option
as a nutritious lunch makes a big
difference in our children’s day.

An
Update to Your Child’s Health History -
The
District asks you to complete a Student
Health History Form for your child as
they enter Kindergarten, sixth, and
ninth grades or if your student is new
to our District. As a student matures,
we realize, health needs may change
between these grade levels. Therefore,
if your child’s health history has
changed and needs to be updated, please
contact your student’s school office
immediately so that their records will
reflect your child’s most current
information.
A Note
From Our PTA President: Most
of you know me, but for those who don’t,
my name is Beth Beadle and I am your PTA
President serving my second year in
office. I have been an active parent at
Country Club since my 7th
grade daughter started kindergarten
eight years ago. I also have a daughter
in third grade. We have a wonderful
community of parents who are always
willing to step in and help out in the
classroom and all school events. I
believe this is what helps to make
Country Club such a successful school.
According to the calendar fall is
already here as of September 22. I hope
all Country Club families are enjoying
the warm weather and enjoying the
outdoors because before we know it there
will be frost on the ground! We have
the following upcoming events so put
them on your calendar so you don’t miss
them:
Primo’s
Run for Education October 11
Country
Club Carnival October 18
PTA
Meeting October 28
Halloween
School Parade October 30
Thank you
to all the volunteers who helped with
the Welcome Back Teacher Luncheon and
Parent Coffee the first week of school.
A special thanks goes out to Martha
Peebles, Tom and Amy Ruschell, Wendy
Pomeroy and Amy Sarokin who pulled these
events together at the last minute. I
couldn’t have done it without you! If
you have any questions or comments,
please feel free to contact me at
