Cougar Pride Spotlight

February Lunch Menu
Please Put Your Child's Name on All Items
Please put your child's name on all hoodies, jackets, coats, water bottles, lunch boxes, etc. Please check all new items your child received for Christmas and add their names to the items. We have over 400 students in the building, and we can easily return lost items to your child if their name is on it. When there is no name it is extremely difficult to get the item to the correct child.

Students who meet their 3rd Quarter AR goal in 2nd-5th grades, read at least 15 books for their reading log in 1st grade, and meet their sight word goal in Kindergarten will be invited to a Spring Fling Party with Mrs. Bird!
