The Blue Jay Bulletin
It's a GREAT day to be a Blue Jay!
Message from Principal Johnson
We hope everyone is adjusting to the Spring forward time change. This is a busy time of year in schools. We have a lot of great events coming up. Mark your calendars and join us when you can!
Thank you to everyone that supported our Kids Healthy Heart Challenge. Our school raised over $4000 which will help the American Heart Association save many lives! Our kids earned prizes (some still on their way in the mail) and our school earned $400 for additional PE/recess equipment! Thanks again!
In partnership of education,

March Madness Reading
Our classes are competing against one another in our March Madness Reading Competition. We are asking students to log the number of pages read each week. Your student should have a weekly log. Please return these at the end of each week. The winning class at the end of the month will earn a class party.
McTeachers Night
Join us Thursday, March 16th from 4-8pm at the North Plains McDonalds for McTeachers Night! Our staff will be helping serve that night as well as selling cookies. A portion of the night's proceeds and 100% of the cookie sales come back to our school! In addition, the class with the most students that visit us will earn an ice cream party from McDonalds!
Hope to see you there!
