Students are very excited about selecting their clubs for this semester! Club Day Selection Forms should be returned signed by this Thursday, January 9^th. Students are also required to enter their club choices online, and your students requested to be able to enter their club choices online at home. The directions in order for students to be able to do so are below. If you have any problems, we will be happy to assist students here at school.

Thank you so much for all that you do!

Six Flags Read to Succeed

Once again, our school will participate in the Six Flags Read to Succeed program. Students who read for 6 hours (360 minutes) of recreational reading will receive a ticket to Six Flags. The 25 minutes students complete each night for homework, however, will not count toward the program. Click here to access the Parent letter regarding the program. Thank you so much for all of your support and encouragement with this endeavor at home! Student reading logs will come home on Monday, January 13th.

Our Class Service Project

Thank you all for your kindness & generosity to our Family in need we adopted this holiday season!

Mr. Walls and I met the mother & great-grandmother of our Family the Saturday before Christmas! They continuously expressed their gratitude for all of your generosity! I know 3 children who had a very Merry Christmas thanks to all of you!

The money leftover from our Christmas party was used to help with a Habitat for Humanity- Home for the Holidays, a service project for one of Mrs. Walls college classes. The project was featured on ABC 33/40, and our class decorated the little girls bedroom. Our contribution was the Christmas tree & decorations to match her green & purple room. Mr. Walls and I set up her tree on Friday night before Christmas.
