Read Across Titus . . .
Titus Reading Specialists and teachers throughout the building are beginning to plan for the 2nd annual celebration of reading known as "Read Across America Day." This year Titus will be celebrating the day on Monday, March 3rd. In conjunction with Read Across America Day, we will be hosting a book swap/exchange. Our goal is for students to have an opportunity to replace their gently used books with newer titles. Here is how it will work . . .
- February 10th - 24th students are asked to bring in gently used books specific to their grade level/age (a 4th grader should bring in books that may interest another 4th grader.) Those books can be placed in the appropriate boxes in the rotunda. We are encouraging each child to bring between 2-4 books if possible. At the higher levels, chapter books are appreciated.
- On March 3rd (or before) we ask that each child bring in a monetary donation (as little as $1.00) which they can use to exchange for books when their class visits the "swap/exchange." The money collected will be used to fund Titus' summer reading program.
Attention 6th Grade Parents . . .
On Tuesday, March 4, 2014, at 7:00 PM, each of our Middle Schools will be hosting an orientation for sixth grade parents. Everything that you need to know to prepare your sixth grader for middle school will be covered. For more information, click here.

Family Fitness Night . . .
On Monday February 10th, Titus Families did their part to be HEART SMART and exercise together at Family Fitness Night. Students and parents did heart healthy activities such as Zumba, UXF (Ultimate Fitness Experience) and Yoga to celebrate American Heart Month. A special thank you to Mrs. Williams and her team of instructors, it was a great night for everyone!
