Miscellaneous:
We will be doing our Winter DIBELs testing on Friday. Please make sure that your child is well rested and eats a good breakfast that morning.

Keep collecting the "Box Tops for Education." Each label helps our school.

Don't forget to read each night for 20 minutes. Each month needs to have a total of 400 minutes.

There are still students coming to school not dressed appropriately for the weather. PLEASE send your child with a COAT. Mr. Whittier likes for the students to be outside for recess if at all possible, even when it is cold outside. They need the break with the fresh air and sunshine! It helps them be ready to learn. If they are cold because they don't have a coat, they are miserable.
