A message from Mrs. Mease
Reading Aloud at home and school can help develop strong vocabulary, thinking skills and a love of reading!
NEA’s Read Across America Day is a nationwide reading celebration that takes place annually on March 2—Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Across the country, thousands of schools, libraries, and community centers participate by bringing together kids, teens, and books, and you can too!
To join in the celebration - Tomorrow students can dress like a character from one of his books. Parents take time to come visit the school! You will have the opportunity to read with your student from 1:50 - 2:20pm. You can bring a beach towel and shades; we will all read outside. (weather permitting)
Loads of Read Alouds

JUMP ROPE FOR HEART
JR4H kicks-off on Feb. 21, 2019. You will be able to register online and invite friends and family to give towards saving a heart. All proceeds will go to American Heart Association. For every $5 given, your child will receive a piece of duct tape to place on Mrs. Byars during our Duct Tape Assembly on Friday, March 8.
It is a great way for our students to showcase their jump rope skills as well duct tape Mrs. Byars to the wall. The goal for our campus is $1,200.
Thank you for your continued support for PE and Mrs. Byars!
