IF THE ROOSTER DIES, BUY AN ALARM CLOCK

Tuesday, November 5 is ELECTION DAY.  No matter your preference of parties or candidates, take the time to cast your vote.  Voting is one of the freedoms that our forefathers fought hard for, and it should not be taken for granted.  Go to the polls on Tuesday and exercise your right to vote.

 

Because of the polling places being set up at Valmeyer Village Hall, the regular meeting of the Valmeyer Village Board of Trustees will be on Wednesday, November 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Emergency Services Building.  Among other items of discussion, the Village Board will award the engineering services for construction activities at the Rock City Business Complex.

 

The School is collecting empty inkjet and printer cartridges to recycle as a fundraiser.  These items can be dropped off at the Unit office.  If you have any questions, contact Tech Director, Rich Kasson at the School.
