Page 8 www.DesertMessenger.com Halloween Caravan Oct. 28th permission slips needed The annual Halloween Caravan for Quartzsite kids will take place on Friday, October 28th at Town Hall. Permission slips will be required before the kids are allowed on the buses--please fill out one and bring it with your child--you will find it on Page 19 and the next issue of this newspaper. The buses will leave Town Hall at 2 p.m. sharp--so please be there no later than 1:45pm to be sure to get a seat. One of the first stops will be at JR's RV Park, where tables will be set up in the clubhouse for anyone who wishes to bring candy to give out to the kids when they arrive. If you need a table, please call Anita at 928-927-4292. If she is not there, please leave a message and she will get back to you. You must reserve a table if you wish to give out candy there. The buses will then travel around town on their route to the RV parks and businesses that are on the route and end up back at the Town Hall Library for the Haunted House. This caravan has been going on for over 20 years, and is the safest and best way to take the kids "Trick or Treating" without having to go door-to-door in parks where some do not wish to be disturbed. We are escorted by the Police & Fire departments, along with Search and Rescue vehicles. It's a great lot of fun for everyone!! PLEASE DON'T FORGET THE PERMISSION SLIPS!!!

Scholars' Preschool updates This year the Little Scholars' Preschool has had wonderful volunteers as- sisting with our needs to get our year off to a great start! Scholars' board member, T.C. Collier, and his wife, Debbie, and son Lane helped us create a "Music Wall" in our playground. We can now make beautiful sounds with some of our favorite things...pots, pans, spoons, wire whisks...You may hear us if you get your mail at the Post Office Annex. Mr. Collier also put up a chalkboard on our fence where we practice our prewriting skills and create drawings. Carl Baker and Mike Glines put our 4 small tables together which enable us to learn to work cooperatively with friends. Thank you, friends, for helping us! Shirley Cunningham, our Quality First coach sent us the website that inspired our interpretation of the "Music Wall". She has been such an important part of the improvements we have made to meet the needs of preschoolers in the Quartzsite area with our Preschool. Through Quality First and First Things First, the Little Scholars' Pre- school has been able to purchase new lockers, age appropriate toys, child size shelves, new cots , and sheets. Our new teacher for the 3 year olds is Cindy Rogers, who comes to us from CRIT Head Start with over 10 years experience in early childhood education. She has created a room that is child friendly , with plenty of learning centers for Free Choice activities. The younger students can now experience the same type of activities as the 4 and 5 year olds on their age appropriate level. This year the Little Scholars Preschool is taking applications for vol- unteers through Northern Arizona University's Grandparents Support Group. If you would like more information about becoming a volunteer, please contact Lisa DeHaven at 927-9420. We love our volunteers!
