March Reading Month is Here! March Reading Month is Here!

This week all Kindergarten-5th grade students will be going to the movie theater in Niles on Tuesday to see the move Hopper. Detailed information came home from Mrs. Mead about this trip. The buses will leave promptly at 8:30 and return before lunch times so students will be back to eat at their normally scheduled times. There is no need to send additional money for this trip as the concessions will not be open for students. Each student will get a drink and popcorn provided to them as part of the trip.

All Kindergarten - 5th grade students will travel over to the high school building on the afternoon of March 25 to watch the dress rehearsal and celebrate all of the students hard work.
