Did your child talk about Tuesday's all school celebration?
Do you have a child entering kindergarten next fall?
Want to give a shout out?
We are inviting families to email Mr. Olson when their child(ren) have a successful experience outside of school. The celebration will then be included in the morning school wide announcement. Ideas of things that families might want announced: winning a soccer tournament, moving up to a new tae kwon do belt, participating in the regional science fair, etc. If you have something that you'd like us to recognize your child(ren) for, email tolson1@isd77.k12.mn.us:

When is the spring Scholastic Book Fair?
Scholastic Book Fair will be held in the Auditorium from 3-8 p.m. during Conferences on March 20, 22, and 26.

When will students get their free book from the Walk-a-thon?
PTO will work with teachers and students next week to select a free book for all K-5 students (up to $5 in value). Books may need to be ordered, but should be headed to home libraries later this month. This book is a school wide prize since the students exceeded our Walk-A-Thon goal in September.
