Feb. 10-1st grade Field Trip-Princess and the Pea 11-2:30

Feb. 19-Early Childhood Screening 8-12

Feb. 28-No Classes

Throughout the month of February, students will be focusing on the word "Love", more specifically focusing on the idea of loving yourself for who you are. Guidance lessons will include activities that promote what students love about themselves. We will also be incorporating our theme of self-love into "Tuesday Tunes" where we will play a song briefly over the announcements that encourages self-love.

Mineral Point Library Staff and the Mineral Point School Library Staff collaborated on an LSTA Grant from the DPI entitled Read the World: Raising Citizens. This grant allows us to bring Miranda & Baptiste Paul to our community on April 20th. Each library will also get $250 to spend on diverse books for our libraries after a diversity audit. Total grant funding is $3750.
