Staff News
10/21-10/25

I would like to thank all of you who attended our ESL Night last night.  We had a wonderful turnout with about 120 in attendance.  I appreciate those who encouraged their students and families to attend.  It allowed a wonderful opportunity to provide information on the programs we offer in our school and rub shoulders with some of our wonderful families.

Next week is Red Ribbon Week.  I know that the Tuesday rotation will interfere with reading interventions in the younger grades, but I know that various people in the community will be here to help students understand the dangers of drugs…  As far as avoiding the conflict next year, we will work to have the rotation on Wednesday if it is something we do next year.  With the hero dress up day, lets encourage our students to focus mainly on hats as the dress up item.  As a staff, please be sure to wear shirt, shoes, and socks.  On Wednesday, you are able to schedule your readathon into your school day in a way that will work best for your schedule.  I appreciate the PTA for all their time and effort in planning out our Red Ribbon Week.

In our next AR assembly, we will be drawing names for perfect attendance and no tardies.  The names drawn will have pizza with the Principal on the following Monday.

Many have asked about donations for the Strand family.  A memorial fund has been set up at Wells Fargo under the name of Andrew Strand.  I would like to thank all of you who have helped to support the Strands, it was such a wonderful thing to see so many of you at the viewing last night.

Have a wonderful LONG weekend!
