Hard to believe that November will be here before you know it. I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe and fun Halloween. As a reminder there is no school for students at Sullivan West on Friday, November 1st, so please remember to plan accordingly.

Here are some events happening in and around our community:

Winter athletic sign-ups at Sullivan West are open. Please register your child on FAMILYID for all winter sports. JV and Varsity practice begins on November 18 and modified practices start on November 25th. Let’s go bulldogs! More information can be found on the Sullivan West website.

Sullivan West Fall Athletic Awards will be held on November 6th with modified awards taking place at 1:50 and JV and Varsity awards will be held at 7 PM.
