The community of Hume wishes to
extend their sympathy to the family of Fannie Edmonson of Butler, MO.
She will be greatly missed by family and friends. Mrs. Edmonson’s
daughter is Brenda Cannon of Hume. Our thoughts and prayers are with
you all.
The Hume United Methodist Church
will host a weenie roast and hayride for young and old alike on
Sunday, November 17 at 2:00 p.m. Everyone is invited to share in
the fun, food and fellowship.
This year the Hume School is
trying to incorporate the character plus, program, school wide goals
and community in changing up the student Christmas gift exchange.
They are trying to promote in the students the idea of giving is
better than receiving.
Therefore, this year the
students will be participating in a program where they will adopt a
solder overseas. Solders are giving up their Christmas to help
protect us and keep us safe. So, they are asking that the money that
would be spent on a classroom gift exchange be spent on a care
package for a solder instead. They ask that each child bring the
item or items they wish to send. The school will take care of the
packing and shipping.
The school would like to invite
any student, family, or community organization to participate. This
idea of adopting a soldier program is open to anyone not just a Hume
elementary student.
Examples of items include:
Lots of snack items especially in small packages as they can put them
in their pockets when they go out, such as nuts, trail mix, etc.
Jerky and slim Jims, socks, deodorant, shampoo, body wash, soap,
toothpaste, lotions. (They like to use the body wash that is also
shampoo), paperback books, movies on DVD, puzzle books, Microwave
bowls of soup, ravioli, microwave meals, popcorn, gum, hard candy,
cookies, peanut butter crackers, cheese cracker. The crackers and
cookies need to be in their boxes because loose ones will crumble in
the shipment.
The items need to be at the Hume
School by Monday, November 25. If you have any questions please
contact any elementary teacher of any school administration.
