Fireflies Baseball Reading Program
Would you like for your student to be able to go to a Fireflies baseball game for FREE? All they have to do is read 4 "just right" books from February 7th until March 30th. If they meet their reading goal, they will receive a free ticket to a Fireflies baseball game, a hot dog, drink, chips, and surprise while at the game! This is a great opportunity to have your student make a reading goal. Students can get their reading log from their ELA teachers, in the Learning Commons, and from the Learning Commons Schoology Course.

A note from Mrs. Rogerson
Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for allowing me to teach your children in social studies this year. It is with regret that I inform you I must go out on early maternity leave in my third trimester. Dr. Coon and the administrative team already have a plan in place for a certified long-term substitute so that your students continue to have a great 8th grade experience and engage with the social studies content and standards. Please be assured that your children will have a great rest of the year with support from administration, 8th grade teachers, and counselors. Feel free to contact the 8th grade social studies team for any specific social studies questions: Michael Moore at mhmoore@lexington1.net or Janet Dorneker at jdorneker@lexington1.net. Ashley Holmes, 8th grade House Leader, can be reached at aholmes@lexington1.net.
Thank you again for the opportunity to build relationships and foster a love for learning with your children this year. I genuinely am going to miss seeing them everyday and know they will persevere through this change at school. I wish them all the best in everything they do.
Sincerely,
Korin Rogerson
