Students can count books they have read since the beginning of school to October 28th. All reading logs are due to the Learning Commons onOctober 28th. Extra logs can be found on the Learning Common's Schoology course, as well as additional information about the contest. Print books, e-Books, audio books, poetry books, short story books, graphic novels, fiction, and non-fiction count. Email Ms. Kohout at jkohout@lexington1.net if you have questions. Happy reading!

We are excited to begin student-led conferences this school year! This is a time when students will talk to their families about their learning and academic progress. Conferences aren't until February, but we want you to have these dates well in advance! Please mark your calendars for Wednesday, February 22 - Thursday, February 23, 2017 from 4:00-7:00 P.M.
