also bring their Chromebook to Mrs. Poole in our library and she will assist
them.

Book Fair

Get ready, Book Fair is back! Come to the MPR all week and have a spooky good time. Classes will be visiting during the week to shop, and we will be open before and after school. Money raised from the Book Fair is used to purchase books for our school library and classrooms. And back by popular demand, the Coin-a-Day Challenge returns! Students are encouraged to bring in change throughout the week to their class. There will be Pennies on Monday, Nickels on Tuesday, Dimes on Wednesday, Quarters on Thursday, and Wild Card Friday where donations of any value are welcome. The top 3 classrooms that collect the highest total amounts will receive upgrades to their classroom reading areas. And the grade that collects the most donations will earn an extra recess! If you have any questions, contact Kate Miller at miller.nkll@gmail.com.

Fall Parade

This year we will celebrate our Red Ribbon and Character Counts Spirit Week with a Fall Parade.  Students may wear school appropriate costumes to the parade.  Click here for the costume guidelines.  Families are invited to attend.  The Fall Parade will take place on our track.  Students will arrive at school by 8:15am and go to their classroom.  We will open the gates to the fire lane behind the D mall for families at 8:25am.  Families will have a designated area to view the parade on the playground.  The parade will begin at 8:30am.  Once the parade has finished, families will exit the school grounds through the same gates they entered.  For safety reasons, families will not be allowed to go to classrooms or in the track area.  v
