Rountree Report

Put on your seatbelts!
I think after the next 2 weeks we will need to participate in some chair races! Your day off in November will be very well deserved! I know there exists both excitement and nerves as we prepare for our site visit. I can't wait for the team to be here and see all the amazing things you are doing. We have a dynamite team and an awesome building culture and I have no doubt we will shine. It is important for all of us to remember the site visitors are here to see where we are on this journey and to offer us valuable feedback. A huge thank you to all the work Nicki has put into getting us organized and ready to impress!

Guest Reader Opportunity
Terre Redmon, a local author, has again offered her services to read to classrooms. Here is the blurb she provided me: I have two power point presentations about how I became an author and how to learn to read using pictures. All three books have been published and I have copies available. This is just a hobby for me and I enjoy talking to the children and sharing my story so there is no charge. The titles of the books are:
Labradors for Life: Dallas Becomes a Mom
Labradors for Life: Hoss and Cali Learn to Swim
Labradors for Life: Cali Finds the ABC’s
If you are interested in reaching out to Terre, her phone number is 417-827-3141 and her e-mail is tarredmon@gmail.com
