Miscellaneous:

Don't forget to read each night for 20 minutes. Each month needs to have a total of 400 minutes. Students also need to keep reading each night regardless of when in the month the goal is met.


The PTA is making one last push to sell yearbooks. I have a list of those students who have purchased a yearbook, and have sent home a note to those who haven't. Call the school (586-2860) if you have any questions.

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.
