is</SPAN> running at full speed<SPAN class=229404816-08092008> on our first
full week of school, </SPAN> and students are adjusting nicely to their new
schedules. It is a big week with lots going on. The Latah County
Fair that happens this week is a big deal for most junior high students,
and fair conversations make for lots of excitement.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>On the flip side, the fair also brings
decision-making opportunities that can be dangerous.<SPAN

other dangerous item is purchased that makes its way onto our campuses.

that they are not to bring items to school that are disruptive or

reminding your son or daughter to stay away from these types of vendors at or
near the fair. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The consequence of
bringing a knife or other dangerous item on to a school campus is very serious,
and will result in a referral to the Board of Trustees for expulsion even if
