Lexia Challenge Update
We began a challenge on February 1st to complete 8,000 units a month as a school. During the month of February we completed over 11,000 units and earned a schoolwide Pajama Day. From today, we have already earned over 5,000 more units for the month of March, well on our way to a successful month. We are so proud of our Eagles, and are keeping the March reward a SURPRISE!
Families please help us by continuing to reinforce Lexia use at home and more important taking time to read with your child everyday. Thank you for all you do to help our Eagles grow as readers!
