Hunt's Corner
Special Thanks to our amazing Para, Specials, and Cafeteria Support Teams, Melina, Letitia, Yolanda, Mary, Lisa, Elizabeth, Jon, Jennifer, Kelley, Ruby, and Sarah for making Grandparents' Lunch a success. We celebrated a larger turn-out than expected, and several teachers and staff recognized needs and quickly stepped in to provide additional support in the hallways and in other ways. Dr. Lovette was on campus and recognized the strong teamwork, great turn-out, and safe systems. Thank you for making our campus SHINE for our community and engage families at school.
Items to Note

- Guided Reading and Intervention: Looking to learn more about guided reading and small group reading interventions? There is a district training for LLI, to become a Teacher of Teachers for each campus. We need to send folks to learn more about the resource, who will be able to come back and help others with similar goals to understand LLI as well as its approaches. If you are interested, please let me know by Friday, Sept 16!
