Davis/Martin Peek at the Week

Dear Parents,
Interim reports for third quarter were sent home Friday. Please sign and return them as soon as possible. Progress reports towards students' five chapter books were sent home, too. Students have until March 10th to read and test on their books.
February Scholastic book orders will be due this Friday, the 10th. If you would like to place an order online using your debit/credit card, go to: scholastic.com/readingclub and enter our classroom code: HTFRC.
UHI has kicked off our Make a Wish fundraiser. Students may purchase stars for $1. Heart lollipops will also be for sale for 50 cents. The money we raise goes to an amazing cause!
Genius Hour projects are in full swing. Students have begun creating the presentation portion of their projects. If there are any additional supplies/materials your child needs, he or she may bring them to school. Projects need to be finished by Friday, February 17th.
