This event will be live streamed via Microsoft Teams LIVE. Classroom teachers will stream the assembly on their Apple TV at this time. All families are invited to watch the assembly as well. If you have any issues accessing the assembly please see the below document for tips from our IT department. The assembly can be accessed at this link:
Bikes For Reading
The second opportunity to win a bike wraps up this Thursday, May 5th. Continue filling out your reading log and return the log on Friday, May 6th. If the students have met the criteria, their names will be entered into a drawing where one lucky participant from each grade level will have the opportunity to win a bike. School personnel will reach out to the parents of the lucky winners for the correct bike size and the age of the child. The assembly will be held on May 23rd to announce the winners. You may want to keep it a secret if your child wins a bike until it is announced at the assembly.
