Dear Parents,


It has been a wonderful day! We were very blessed to have a successful Reading Fiesta and then follow it up later in the afternoon with our Junior Kindergarten - 5th Grade students being introduced to the Author and Illustrator Jonathan Miller.  Thank you to all the families who completed the summer reading challenge.  89 of our students were entertained by Magic Scott Marshall, got a special treat out on the field, and 53 of the students who did the extra credit items on the back of the log sheet received special Homework Passes!


I hope you enjoy the photos of the event below.


May the Lord bless you and keep you,


Amy Fry, Principal

If you did not send in a pre-order for The Adventures of Sammy books and would still like to we have given the children some order forms.  Please hand these back to the office by Friday morning (9/16) with payment. 

Books should be available for collection or backpack delivery next week.
