Reminder: Read Across America Day

There will be an optional “Story Book Character” Dress Up Day for students in Pre-K through 4th grade this coming Thursday, March 2nd, in honor of Dr Seuss’ birthday (also known as Read Across America Day).  Please note that if your student does not want to dress as a storybook character, they need to come to school in their regular uniform attire.  Please remember that standard dress down guidelines as per our handbook apply for students that wish to dress up on Thursday.

Also this week, our Librarian – Mrs. Tierney – will also be kicking off the Hats off To Reading Contest for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade.  The contest begins March 1st and will run the entire month of March.  Additional Reading Logs will be available on our website under the Forms/Docs page or can also be requested from Mrs. Tierney during the student’s library period.  Please encourage your student to read as much as they can to help their grade win a prize!
