Welcome back!  I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend and the holiday if you celebrate it.  We have a lot going on this week.  There will be Media Center checkout tomorrow (make sure your child brings in their library books), gym is tomorrow (shoes required) and pictures taken at 1:00 pm!  (have your child bring a comb)

Wednesday our class will be having another MAP test.  This one will be testing reading.  The class did a great job last week.  They needed lots of stamina and they had it!!

There will be a Peace Pole Dedication on Friday, October 10th at 2:45 pm.  There will be a short program including a musical number by 4th and 5th grade students.  PBIS September party attendees will have Pinwheels for Peace on display at our site.  We would love to have you join us!
