Love of Reading Week !

*Science Fair
Every sixth grade students science fair board, project and journal will be due next Monday. So far this quarter I have repeatedly reminded students about due dates for specific parts of science fair as well as checked them off in class for it. If they do not have the science fair done by next Monday they will be missing lots of points for their science grade. Please help your child get their projects done by next Monday.


*Fun Run
Parents please remember to join us at the Second Run, Walk and Roll event this Saturday at Reid Park. The student with the most donations will receive a free bicycle. Students in my class who find me at the event will receive extra credit for showing support.
