We are pleased to announce that the Moody Foundation has completed their grant to Satori in the amount of $7,000 for assistance in operations in 2007-8.  Also we have just received word that the Kempner Foundation has approved an emergency grant to Satori in the amount of $10,000 for hurricane recovery.  We are so thankful for our many supporters in this time of need.

We welcome Ben Thompson back to the Upper School fifth grade.  Also welcome to our two new Lower students Elizabeth Dowling from Australia to first grade and Colin Beeton to kindergarten.

Our Evergreen Fundraiser is coming to an end.  Tomorrow, November 4, your orders should be completed and turned in to the office.  Remember to make checks out to “Satori School.”  The evergreens make great gifts and can be sent directly to the recipient’s address.  Thanks to Betsy Hatherill for coordinating this project.

Parent volunteer activities available this month and next month include:  1)  Friday lunch duty for days available on the parent calendar at the front bulletin board, 2) hauling away a trash can full of aluminum cans for recycling, and 3) hauling away stacks of newspapers from the art room and hallway for recycling. 
The hot lunch menu is printed on the back of this newsletter for your convenience.

Remember, your November tuition is now due.  Please deposit checks in the tuition box by the front desk.
Our Internet is again back to normal so you may contact us at satori@satorischool.net regarding school business. The phone is also available on 409-763-7022.  Please share any new numbers with your teacher.
