Nightly Reading Slips:
Students returning reading slips will have their name entered for daily prizes. The reading slips will be totaled for the number of minutes read.
- If the school reaches 24,000 minutes read, Mrs. Bishop is going to do something crazy!
- To really push ourselves: If we reach 27,000 total minutes read, something even more crazy may happen!
- The grade with the highest RETURNED reading slip average will get to put a pie in their teachers' faces!
A big thanks to those who make coming to school safe and possible
3RD QUARTER Service Project
While any non perishable food item is greatly appreciated, the Samaritan Center has especially requested the donation of items such as canned soups, spaghettios, ravioli, etc. - any type of items to "keep you warm".
Please join us in making this a "souper" success! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
