Please let me know if you are interested in a reader on Wednesday, January 12 from 2:00-2:25. We can expect 6 readers.
January 12th - Lawson 2:00-2:25 6 signed up (requested so far: Ault, Sesker, Easter, Olson, Weite, Kosmicki)
Birthday Treat Reminder
Students should not bring treats to share for their birthdays. They can bring in something tangible to share (pencils, stickers, trinket, etc.). We decided at the beginning of the school year to refrain from bringing in snacks or treats that can be eaten.
Thanks for adhering to this standard so we are all doing the same thing in terms of birthday treats at Lawson.
