Woods Weekly
Week of March 14th-18th
Classroom Happenings
Dear Parents/Guardians,
If your child has not made his/her AR goal yet, please have him/her read over the weekend so quizzes can be taken during the week. Students have until Wednesday to make their AR goal, which includes their point goal AND the accuracy goal (at least 85% reading comprehension accuracy). This counts as two test scores for reading.
Drama Club:
A letter came home earlier this week for Drama Club. If your child is interested in being a part of this year's play Treasure Island, please encourage him/her to try out on Thursday, March 17th during lunch. The cast list will be posted by Friday, March 18th. If your child does not get a part, because there will be cuts this year, he/she could still be a part of the prop and set change crews. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Grantsaris (sgrantsaris@valpo.k12.in.us).
Reminders
Student Council: Cookies and Coffee for Soldiers
Our Student Council is sponsoring a coffee and cookie drive for our troops through this Friday, March 18th. You can help by donating commercially packaged cookies and 1-pound bags of ground coffee. They can be placed on the table across from the Lost and Found. The donations will be packaged and sent to soldiers all around the world by The Military Support Group in Indianapolis in late March. Remember, any donation, no matter how big or small, is very much appreciated. Thank you for brightening a soldier's day!
