Hope y’all are staying warm and preparing for
the winter ahead. Here’s just a few notes from
the Naples Community Group:
We will be holding our fourth annual (can you
believe it?) Naples Holiday Festival from noon
to 4 p.m. Saturday, December 14. As in previous
years, we are hoping to provide/host free fire
truck rides, caramel apples, ice skating
(weather permitting), affordable hot dogs, chips
and beverages, a Girl Scouts’ bake sale, free
crafts for kids and more.
The Naples General Store has been wonderful in
coordinating their free photo with Santa, and at
the same time, Moose Valley Farms may also be
selling various items to add to the holiday
spirit!
Please plan to attend and spread the news. We
also appreciate those who can volunteer an hour
or two.
Our Naples Community Food Cupboard continues to
provide food to 15 to 25 families a week and WE
NEED FOOD DONATIONS!
Suggested items include canned meats, vegetables
and fruit, as well as peanut butter, jelly, dry
cereal, oatmeal, rice and spaghetti sauce.
Our local grocery stores, Super One and Safeway,
consistently donate breads and baked items, as
well as other items at times.
We will decide upon the best place for drop off
and get back to y’all. Naples General Store does
have a donation box and the Food Cupboard is
open Thursdays from 2 to 4 p.m.
Please consider advocating for donations if you
belong to any groups or are hosting a party.
Naples School is doing great and we are grateful
for our new third grade teacher Miss Ross!
Students, staff and parents are excited about
the new playground equipment (funds raised by
students/PTSA and labor from PTSA, parents and
community volunteers).
Be sure to stop by on a Thursday to see all the
red shirts on Wolverines Red Day.
We continue to spread the word about our
wonderful school. Did you know are students are
participating in weekly magnet classes on
Wednesday afternoons?
Current magnet classes are science, Spanish,
Christmas store crafts (junior and senior),
piano, sign language, come play games, CPR,
photo editing, yoga and trash to treasure
crafts.
Finally, mark your calendars for the upcoming
Family Fall Harvest Dance from 6 to 8 p.m.
Thursday, November 21, at Naples Elementary.
There'll be a pie auction, basket raffles, chili
dogs and more!
Monday, November 4 , the Naples Community Group
will meet at 6 p.m. at the Naples Fire Station
Community Room. Hope to see you there!
