Afternoon buses will run 10–15 minutes early today because of the high school pep rally. This includes hub stops in McFarland, Paxico, and Maple Hill. Please plan to pick up your students earlier than usual. We appreciate your flexibility!

☕ COFFEE AT MEL’S — TOMORROW MORNING!
Join us Tuesday, October 27, from 9:00–10:00 a.m. at Mel’s in Alma for our second USD 329 Bond Coffee Chat.
We’ll have the latest project information and plenty of time to talk. Stop in to:
• Review the proposed bond projects
• Ask questions about costs, planning, and project estimates
• Learn more about the work proposed at WES, WJHS, WHS, and the new CTE facility
• Talk directly with district leadership
• Share your questions and concerns
No presentation required, no long meeting — just coffee, conversation, and an opportunity to get information directly from the district.
And after some of the recent discussion around the bond, perhaps the theme should be:
Hats off. Facts on. Coffee ready.

A huge thank you to **Custom Wood Products** for generously donating about **$1,200 in lumber** to support our students' woodworking projects! Contributions like this do more than provide materials. They give students opportunities to build practical skills, explore their creativity, and feel the satisfaction of creating something with their own hands. We are fortunate to have businesses that recognize the importance of investing in our young people and the value of hands-on education.
**Thank you, Custom Wood Products, for investing in our students and helping our Chargers build something great!**
