Literacy Promotion
For those of you that are participating in the Literacy Promotion, THANK YOU!!! The students are noticing!! For those of you that haven't had time to "deal" or have misplaced the flyer, I have more at my desk. They are next to the library sign up--grab one anytime.
Reading Raiders movie meet up
The Reading Raiders sponsored their 2nd movie meet up of the year. Several students met at Regal Cherrydale Cinemas in Greenville last Saturday night to see The 5th Wave. Fun and popcorn was had by all.
Frosty
Our first year to build the paper snowman resulted in a few fun snow days. Coincidence? I think not...He'll be back.
Heart Month Promotion
Please stop by the media center and grab a heart cut out. Write something positive about one or more or ALL of your students. These hearts will be displayed outside the media center in the hallway around the poster shown above. Thank you for encouraging our students!
