<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear Parents,</span></span></span>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">                We are so delighted this week to see our beautiful, new playground equipment in place! On behalf of every student at De LaSalle Academy, we wish to thank all the families who came out this weekend to help move the huge mountain of mulch! Thank you to Natialie Childress as well, for providing lunch on Saturday and Sunday for all of the volunteers. Now, the students just have to wait until Friday for the cement to cure…Waiting isn’t easy! </span>J</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #000000;">                Next week on <strong>Thursday, October 11</strong>, we will have our Home &amp; School Meeting at Riverside Church, at <strong>6:30 PM. </strong>In addition to regular school business, we are pleased to have a guest speaker from the community, Mr. John Masucci, MS. Ed. C.S.C.S.  of Peak Performance LLC. Mr. Masucci will be speaking on the topic of <strong><em>Reactive Neuromuscular Training: Developing the Foundation of a "Functional Core" Training Program</em></strong>. A flyer with more information about this presentation is enclosed. We look forward to providing speakers each month to speak on topics that are relevant for parents of children with special needs and look forward to Mr. Masucci’s presentation.</span></span></span>
