Students will not be penalized for not meeting their reading goal this 9 weeks. This announcement was delayed because we didn't want the students to stop reading. Technology issues out of our control were the main reason we made this decision. The requirement to attend the WIG party for the 1st 9 weeks will only be based on grades and work habits. The WIG celebration will take place during PE next week. Students that do not attend will be reading a book during the WIG party. It's a FRESH START to the 9 weeks, so please encourage your students to tackle their new goals now!

**Reading goals for the 2nd and 3rd 9 weeks WILL NOT be adjusted. We will be making changes to the 4th 9 weeks because AR points will be due at the beginning of May.

JR. BETA CLUB + ROBOTICS FUNDRAISER

Our Jr. Beta Club and Robotics Club are combining efforts for a fundraiser. Our clubs will be selling plate lunch tickets to Southern Spice for $12. Tickets can be redeemed any day in November. Each club will receive 50% of the profit. These funds will be used to purchase the materials necessary for our club competitions. See one of the Beta or Robotics club members to purchase tickets or purchase your tickets by clicking on the link below.

T.S. Cooley has many students that shine here and away from campus. We showcase many of their accomplishments at school in our yearbook, shine boards, morning assemblies and awards days. After hearing about so many of their outside accomplishments we have decided to add a shine board to our weekly newsletters. We have many athletes, musicians, dancers, singers and other talented students who we would like to showcase. If you would like to share their accomplishments, please send a jpg photo and a short paragraph explaining the photo with details about the activity, length of time they have been participating, type of honor they are receiving or other information to barbara.lawrence@cpsb.org We will begin posting these next week.
