Running Club
Parents can view their children's mileage on the StrideTrack app. The gates will open at 7:25AM every school morning for those students in 1st-5th grade who want to run. The kindergarten teachers have a separate plan for running, so they will need to wait until the gates open to all students at 7:30. Please contact Lora Fountain if you have any questions about StrideTrack at loap03@gmail.com. Contact Bethany Wilde at bethanymwilde@gmail.com to volunteer to scan badges and cheer on the kids.
Thanks so much!
Bethany Wilde
Running Club Co-Chair
Scholastic Book Fair: September 26 - 30
All You Can Read Diner: September 29
The event will be held on Thursday, September 29th from 5-7PM in the MPR. The Scholastic Book Fair will be open to families this night as well, so plan time to stop by both events.
This week in the Library!
Grades 1-5 and TK enjoyed their first visit to the Library! We learned about proper Library manners by solving a true crime with the Case of an Unruly Library Patron. We discussed the responsibilities of sharing the space and books with the whole school and acknowledged the privilege to have these wonderful books to read! Please ask your kids about their visit and remind them to return the Library books on time. Here's the link to review the case again:

The younger grades read Mr. Wiggle's Book about practicing good Library etiquette:

We will be celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month in the Library next week!
More than a Meal Application - Please Help Our Students!
Did you know that although these meals are available to students, it is important that families still complete applications for free and reduced-price meals? Free and reduced-price meal eligibility is a key factor in determining district funding for important programs for our students.
Please consider applying for free and reduced-price meal eligibility for this school year and help our district and school receive necessary funding. You can apply at More Than a Meal or pick up the paper application available in our school office.
