TJ Updates
Last week was a great week of performances. It started with another wonderful Veteran's Day celebration. Thanks to Katie for some new ideas! It ended Friday night with our Storytellers had their Firelight Performance. Once again, I was amazed by the student's ability to memorize and perform their stories!
It was also an exciting week for book arrivals. Not only did the Book Fair books arrive, but we receive another shipment of books for the bookroom. These books are mostly nonfiction. We are in the process of checking in the books and getting them ready to add to the bookroom. In order to keep the bookroom organized, we are requesting that you don't reshelve books that you have taken out to look at. Please place them in the basket to be reshelved later.
Tuesday is SRP Recognition Day. Thank you to all our SRPs for helping educate all of our students.
Here's some pictures from last week.
