Parents, Thursday, November 20th is Illinois' " Family Reading Night!" A night at home to enjoy a book with your child! Tuck in for a cozy read!

Congratulations to Ms. Faivre's First Grade Classroom! Today they enjoyed a "cookie" party for being the top earning classroom in our recent Uncle Lar's Literacy fundraiser! They also received a free Uncle Lar's cookie skillet ticket.

A HUGE thank you to all Bobcat Families that purchased Uncle Lar's Pizza tickets! What an incredibly successful fundraiser! And thank you to Uncle Lar's for partnering with us!

The Freshmen Class of 2029 is selling discount cards as a fundraiser again. We have a limited number of cards, so they will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis as soon as the freshmen student submits their order and the money is exchanged with Mrs. Hammett. An Omella link will be available for online orders beginning in January ONLY IF we still have discount cards left to sell. The sale starts now and ends in mid-February or until the cards are sold out, whichever comes first. The cost of each card is $15 (cash or check made payable to SHS), and can be used from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026.

We would like to say THANK YOU to all of the local vendors who offered a discount at their establishments. Please contact Mrs. Hammett with any questions at hammetta@somonauk.net.

**GET YOUR DISCOUNT CARD ASAP WHILE SUPPLIES LAST**

We still have discount cards from last year's fundraiser that we are trying to sell for $1 each (valid until 1/31/26) -- please contact Mrs. Hammett at hammetta@somonauk.net to order!
