Read Across America Day has been a day created by the National Education Association (NEA) to celebrate reading since 1998. The NEA chose Dr. Seuss’s birthday to get children excited about literacy and reading, much like a pep rally for football. So, we want to help cheer our students on as they develop a love for reading especially this week. Wednesday, March 2 will be Book Character Dress Up Day. We also will have a Book Swap on Friday, March 4. Please send gently used books that you would like to donate to our school by Wednesday, March 2. On Friday, all students will get to shop for a new book to take home. We want EVERY student to have a new book to read.

Please join us in spreading cheer with Two’s Day on Tuesday, 2-22-22. We invite teachers and students to come to school wearing a tie, tutu, dressed like a twin, or wearing 2 of anything. Happiness is the only thing that multiplies when you share it.

Parents, We have temporarily lost electricity. We have talked to Entergy and it should be back on soon. We are still having class and dismissal will stay as scheduled. 4th & 5th grade after school tutoring will continue as normal.

Parents, The best way to improve your child’s reading is practice. Our reading program has an online component that can be accessed at home. This website has great books that reinforce what your child is learning in class. Your teacher has your child’s username and password if you need it. Please ask them for it if you don’t have it. We would love for you to set a goal with your child of how many minutes they want to read each week and then GO FOR IT! https://arcid.americanreading.com/

Please continue to send water bottles. We are having students forget their water bottles. We are allowing 4th - 6th grade students to use water fountains as a refill station. If you would like to donate a gallon water jug to use for refills to your child’s class, it would be greatly appreciated.
