Halloween
- We still have lots of fun! Parades, spooky music, mask making, and a special orange snack!

- No costume will be lost, torn, or missing pieces when you pick up your child!
- The day is a win for the HOME TEAM! Now if we only make it through the sugar high of Tuesday - Friday!

Poinsettias
It's crazy, but it's time for Growing Tree's Annual Poinsettia Sale. Proceeds this year will be used for Center upgrades and staff support. Please use the Poinsettia form located at the top of the newsletter to distribute to your family, friends, co-workers and especially businesses you frequent. This year our goal is to sell 1000 plants! To date we have sold 291 plants.
- If every family sells 7 poinsettias we will easily meet our goal!

- Checks should be made payable to Growing Tree
- Plants will be delivered the week of November 28th
