On Oct. 5, Harry S Truman Elementary School students and staff will hold its annual Heavenly Hat Day fundraiser.

Students are invited to wear their favorite hat to school and to make a donation to this charity. The charity then takes the funds collected and purchases new hats for those who are losing their hair to medical illnesses and complications.

Let’s see all those hats!

All Salisbury Township schools will be closed for a professional development day Oct. 8. Schools will reopen with normal schedules Oct. 9.
