Thankful Challenge

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Thankful Challenge during November! Our Thankful Tree looks amazing. I will leave it up for the first week of December and will draw one more round of names. Please take a minute to check it out.

Fifth Grade Teachers!

I am taking applications for Library leaders. A library leader is a student who has proven themselves to be responsible and is willing to come to the library to help before school and during the day when time permits. The link to apply is on the library webpage.

You can now register and promote the Six Flags Read to Succeed program with your kids. If you kids read 6 hours and record their minutes on the Six Flags reading log. You will need to create a teacher account and enter your students into the system as they finish their reading.
