interest to our community. Just to mention a few, the board currently features an article on

reuse scraps of colored and plain paper recycling paper, cardboard, catalogs, plastic bottles and containers and cans Classroom bins are emptied into larger blue cans which the cleaning staff collects and places in

recycling cans outside which are collected by TFC recycling twice a week from both buildings.

materials are collected for recycling in my community at

start to recycle one new type of material.

send in your batteries.

In just three days, we collected 38 lbs of batteries.

Grandparents Day Tuesday, November 22ndEVERYONE IS INVITED!

Too often in a small school we forget that our traditions are not clear to all members of our schoolfamily. Certainly it is a day to recognize and thank our grandparents. But, it is also a day to spend withmothers and fathers, and even uncles and aunts and special adult friends. So, we ask and encourage parents toattend the day with their children as well as grandparents. In addition, if your child does not have a grandparentwho can attend, any adult member of the family or extended family is welcome as well. The goal of this serviceis to gather together as a school family before we break for the holidays. All are welcome.**Please note this is a dress up day for students**

Who was D.A. Taylor?On behalf of the D.A. Taylor Foundation, we would like to welcome you to the7th annual DA Taylor Middle School Basketball Challenge. Over the past sixyears, this event has raised almost $20,000 for the foundation.D.A. attended Norfolk Academy since the third grade. He was a high honorroll student, as well as a National Merit Semifinalist. He also excelled inathletics, earning honors in multiple sports including football, basketball and

lacrosse. D.A. was highly motivated to succeed, and was a positive influencein the lives of all with whom he associated. On February 17, 1995, D.A.became ill with meningococcal meningitis. After a courageous battle with the disease for just over a month,D.A. succumbed to it, losing his fight against it on March 20, 1995. His family and friends founded the D.A.Taylor Charitable Foundation in 2006 to honor D.A.'s spirit and the quintessential and symbolic good that herepresented. His existence naturally touched all of us, and it is our proud obligation to prolong that spiritthrough his name.

The mission of the foundation is to identify youths with the will to better themselves through academic studyand then to instill a sense of hope, and perhaps then purpose, by giving them the confidence and means to attainhigher education.

Our goal this year is to raise $5,000 this year through this Middle School Basketball Challenge. We will bepresenting a sportsmanship award at the end of the tournament to a deserving team in each bracket. Allproceeds will go directly to the foundation.

We would like to thank the many volunteers who have dedicated their time in order to make this event happenand also would like to thank a friend of the foundation who donated all the t-shirts for the players and staff.Special thanks go out to the Southeastern Virginia Basketball Officials Association who has graciouslyvolunteered their time to referee all of the games for the event.

If you would like to make a donation to the foundation please make your check out to the DA TaylorFoundation please see one of the staff members. Thanks again for supporting the D.A. Taylor Foundation.
