Students received a flier about Six Flags, Read to Succeed.  This is an opportunity to earn free tickets to the theme park.  If you need additional copies just let me know and I will get them to your child.  The final date to log their time is February 27, so let's read and earn some tickets!!!!

Final presentations for Great American Awards are due by February 14.

Tonight is Winterfest!  I will be in the Kindergarten room running one of the many bubble activities that should be SUPER FUN!  Book Fair will also be going on in the library, as well as science fair projects in the lunch room.  Students who are able to come and participate will earn a free pass for Mt. Language Arts or Mt. Math, their choice.  Hope to see you there!

Our Book Fair is going on right now.  New this year is the ability to order over the Internet.  I know it is tough to shop during school hours, here is a great solution.  They also have additional choices that aren't at our book fair, for example many of the popular series; The Among series by Margaret Peterson Haddix and the Hunger Games.  Thanks for supporting our school
