STAAR Buddies:
Please deliver your goodies and water before the testing date for your buddy class. If you forgot and your buddy class is taking STAAR on Monday, please drop off your goodies and water EARLY before school starts (like 7:00/7:15). These little snacks, water bottles, tissue, or sharpened #2 pencils are definitely appreciated!

The Comet of the Week is...Kelsi Vest!
Mrs. Reynolds has nominated Kelsi Vest (1st grade teacher) for Comet of the Week because, "Every time I see her in the hall or at dismissal, she has a huge smile on her face. You can tell she loves what she does. She is just a really positive person. She also did an awesome job with her committee to make Teacher Appreciation Week so nice for everyone."
Ms. Vest has earned the coveted Comet of the Week parking spot, a jeans pass, a snack shack coupon, and the opportunity to nominate the next week's Comet! Congratulations, Ms. Vest!
