PRINCIPAL'S NOTES AND HIGHLIGHTS
Lots of students in pajamas and vacation attire. Of course the staff can't pass up an opportunity to wear jeans!
ISTEP and IREAD3 testing is officially done. Thank you for having your child here and ready to go. The students did a GREAT job.
The students are obviously excited it is Friday. I'm just excited that I won't be doing dismissal in a rain suit!
I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable break!
Congratulations to Kamron from Ms. Deyerling's class! He was the Husky Gram quarterly drawing winner! The prize was a night at Hotel Indigo (indoor pool), dinner or lunch at Puccini's, 2 free t-shirts at Hoosier Sporting Goods and dessert at Zaharakos!
3rd Quarter Attendance Challenge Winner: Justin Schlaudroff

Incredible Kid Day-March 15th
Staff were each given a few cards to pass on a message to students for the Incredible Kid Day initiative. While we will be on Spring Break, we wanted to take this opportunity to recognize students for being...incredible! The link below has more details if interested.
http://campfire.org/absolutely-incredible-kid-dayProject Updates
- Our Kindergarten classes finished their helping Columbus pets project. They raised $102 for C.A.R.E. and numerous huge trash bags full of blankets, towels and shoes for The Litter Box Kitty Rescue. They were able to present their donations at their event this week at the Bartholomew County Library.
- First grade finished up their week with a pizza party from the PTO. They raised over half of all the box tops that came in for the Box Top Contest this semester.
- Second graders are continuing to work on their Genius Hour projects. They have been learning about getting information from books and how to keep track of their sources.
- Third graders are working on their Pop Tab Contest project. You can begin sending those in with your children to help raise money for the Ronald McDonald House.
- Fourth graders will begin working on their next project when we return from Spring Break.
- Fifth graders are working on their Treasures project. The top voted on books for each class will be heading over to Viewpoint Books to be read and voted on for the next step of their project.
- Sixth grade students are in the brainstorming phase of their next project, "Helping Disasters".

WHAT IF WE NEEDED YOU TO KNOW...
