Dr. Seuss Green Eggs & Ham Breakfast
March 2 is Dr. Seuss's birthday! To celebrate his writing and I Love to Read Month, join us for Green Eggs and Ham! We will be serving breakfast to students and families beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 2. The Parent Group will host the Green Eggs and Ham (with banana and juice) breakfast. Teachers will be reading some of their favorite Dr. Seuss books aloud as you dine in the annex.
We have a few dads that will cook the eggs and some moms to serve the breakfast. If you want to assist, please contact Jen Duneman at jennifer.duneman@gmail.com.
Please send an RSVP to your child's teacher with the number of family members (not attending school) that will eat breakfast with the students.
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go. Dr. Seuss

MSU Reading Clinic, 1st - 8th Grade
Greetings!
We are once again offering the Montana State University Reading Clinic for students in grades 1-8 who could benefit from additional assistance in reading. Each child participating in the clinic will receive 12 tutoring sessions by an assigned pre-service elementary education teacher on the MSU campus. The total cost is $20, but scholarships are available. Please share this announcement with your staff and parents who might be interested. I have attached the flyer or it may be accessed here:

Thank you so much for your assistance in getting this information to parents. We received very positive feedback last semester from parents and look forward to continuing this opportunity for the pre-service teachers and members of the community.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
