Box Top Wars will be starting on Monday, February 22 and will end on Friday, February 26.  Send all of your Box Tops to school and turn them into the office and at the end of the week, the class with the most earned will get a prize!  To help Mrs. Oberg and Mrs. Robinson count them up, you can send them in increments of 25 or 50 per bag (if you do this, please indicate how many are in each bag), or you can pick up a collection page at the office and TAPE your box tops to it before bringing them in (If you do it this way, please use tape ONLY, no glue or staples).

Today is Mid-Term! It's amazing to think that the third term is already half over. Please be watching for your child's mid-term report card to be coming home today. Thanks for your support!

This month's Students of the Month were chosen for being friendly to their classmates.  A huge thanks goes out to these students for being great examples of friendliness.

Students were rewarded with a fun attendance party on Wednesday for having 2 or less absences during the second term (2 tardies = 1 absence)  Mrs. DeGraffenried and Mrs. Penrod planned a fun, modified version of dodgeball played with rolls of toilet paper for each grade to play.  The kids had so much fun!  

The 4th-6th grade students were excited to hear from teenage author McKenzie Wagner last week.  She came and talked with them about following their dreams and never giving up.  Students were able to submit a short story in the weeks leading up to her visit and some were chosen to eat lunch and visit with McKenzie before the assembly.  During the assembly the students participated in a fun contest and 6th Grader Carlisle Brownfield won a copy of her newest book "Casters of Doovrik"
