We hope that you all had an AMAZING Spring Break full of fun, family/friend time, and relaxation! :) The kiddos came back refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of 4th grade! :)

With Milestone testing, students will not have any homework, and no tests/quizzes are scheduled.

Book Fair: It's time to start planning for the Scholastic Book Fair May 5-17. The theme is the "Happy Camper Book Fair: S'more fun with books!" We are looking for volunteers to help with decorating, setting-up, student preview, student buying, and post-fair packing up. Please contact Sandy Treece, [email protected] for more information about volunteering.
More about the Book Fair....
We will focus on student Summer Reading. For each grade, we'll have teacher-selected picks based on student reading levels for on-level, advanced, and accelerated books. Avoid the summer reading slide by keeping your children reading during the summer! Profits from the book fair support the school through books, technology, online databases, Makerspace, and other student materials. Thank you for supporting our school!
We hope that you have a wonderful week!
