NOTES FROM THE HEALTH ROOM
With the warmer weather approaching please also remember that jackets are to be worn outside for recess until the temps reach over 50 degrees. The playground can also become very wet and muddy so having an extra pair of clothes at school is always a great idea!
Please reach out if you have any further questions or concerns!!
NOTES FROM PTA
Our first adult gala was a HUGE success. Due to your incredible generosity, we profited $12,670! It was an absolute blast and we will absolutely have another gala in the future.

READATHON/READ ACROSS AMERICA
Our readathon and Read Across America Week is just wrapping up. We love seeing all the students participate in our spirit days to celebrate reading. Please have your students finish up their reading minutes and submit their reading logs to their classroom teachers. We will record participants and they will receive a Scholastic dollar credit towards our book fair in spring. The due date for readathon minutes was March 10th, but since we do not have school that day, we will extend it to March 13th.
YEARBOOK
If you would like purchase a yearbook, please do so by March 12th. Additional yearbooks may not be available to purchase after this date. All purchases must be complete online at Network Photography's yearbook page.
