HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Don't forget that there is no school today, Thursday, and Friday. Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

CA-BLOOMINGTON BARNES & NOBLE BOOKFAIR IS NEXT MONDAY! SPREAD THE WORD!
It's finally here...our fundraiser at the Edina Galleria Barnes & Noble takes place on Monday, November 27, 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m. Up to 25% of purchases made will go to CA-Bloomington. Here's how:
• Make your gift or personal list of items such as books, games, cards, stationery, videos, CDs, magazines, puzzles, Godiva chocolate, and specialty teas and coffees.
• Think ahead! Are you a member of a book club? Wouldn’t it be nice to take care of upcoming occasions like birthdays and baby gifts? What about keeping something on hand for host/hostess gifts? If you’re planning a trip or expecting visitors, what about a memento of the Twin Cities or Minnesota?
• On November 27, shop at the Galleria Barnes & Noble, and bring your list and the special voucher (included with mid-quarter grades and also available here or at the store’s cash register on that day). Be sure to give the salesperson your voucher so we receive the credit.
• If you have a Barnes & Noble membership card, your purchases can still qualify.
Also, gift wrapping will be provided by CA-Bloomington library volunteers on the 27th! Spread the word to friends, family, and co-workers, so we can make the most of this exciting fundraising opportunity. As more purchases are made, our percentage increases. Questions? Call the office at 952-854-0224. We'll see you at Barnes & Noble on November 27!

MID-QUARTER GRADES ARE ON THE WAY
Mid-quarter progress reports were handed out to students in advisory period on Tuesday, November 21. They are in the mail and should arrive in your homes this week. Remember that tuition and fees (including class dues) need to be current for grades to be distributed.
