Halloween!

Providence Hall will be celebrating Halloween on Monday, October 31st and will be allowing students at both the Elementary and Jr. High to wear their costumes to school!   This is the first year we have welcomed students to dress up for Halloween and we hope it will be a fun day for all our students!  As part of this day's festivities, Junior High will be inviting all the Elementary students to walk over to their school for a costume parade.

We do want to make sure our costumes are appropriate for this fun day and are asking students to observe the following:

• No masks
• No blood and gore looks (A good rule of thumb for the older students would be whether their costume could scare a kindergartener)
• No "adult oriented" styles – modesty standards will be enforced.

More info on upcoming Halloween activities will be coming soon.

Smith's Earn & Learn

Earn money for your child’s school every time you use your Rewards card at Smith’s! With your
support, Smith’s Earn & Learn program has already contributed $14.8 million to schools. This school
year, Smith’s will be contributing another $1,000,000 to local participating schools.

Sign-Up is Easy!

To enroll, simply present this letter and your Rewards card to your cashier during your next visit to
Smith’s. Your cashier will scan the barcode on this letter to link your child’s school to your card. Then,
use your Rewards card every time you shop to help earn money for your school! Your enrollment will
be valid until 9/30/2011.

If you have participated in Smith’s Earn & Learn before, you must re-enroll each year. All enrollments
completed after 6/1/2011 will be valid until 9/30/2012. All other enrollments expire on 9/30/2011.

How Your Earnings Add Up

Smith’s is giving $1,000,000 to schools this year. Your school’s share will be based on the percentage
of purchases made by Earn & Learn participants linked to your school compared with purchases made
by all Earn & Learn participants. The more purchases made by participants linked to your school, the
more your school will earn. The points earned towards Earn and Learn will in no way affect any other
points you may be earning i.e. fuel, or other programs.

For example, if Earn & Learn participants linked to your school purchase 1% of all Earn & Learn
purchases, Smith’s will donate 1% of $1,000,000 to your school, or $10,000.

How Are Funds Distributed?

The accumulation period for this year is 8/1/11 through 7/31/12. Next August, a check and will be
mailed to your school.

Note: Schools must register with Smith’s Earn & Learn to receive a donation. Eligible Schools must be a
qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit, state-accredited, k-12 school located within Smith’s operating areas in
Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, and New Mexico.
