Great Turnout at MAP NIght

We had our annual Third Grade MAP Night for parents and students.  We had a great turnout.  This is a great way for parents and the students to learn what MAP week is about and how to prepare for MAP testing.  We started this night many years ago and have felt it has been an integral part of our success in MAP testing.  Thank you to all of the parents that were able to attend and to the Third Grade teachers for hosting the event.

Tomorrow is our QSP Reading Program magazine packet turn-in.  All students bringing back a completed packet will receive a WebKinz animal. 

The weather has been forecasted to be extremely cold tomorrow. Please encourage your child to wear a warm coat!  We have had Spring Fever striking for many of the students!  They are not remembering to bring their coats!

We will have a special guest at our morning assembly on Thursday.  Lindsey Dial, Blair Oaks High School senior and Cole County Heart Star, will be sharing her story with our students.  Our Hat Money for February is going to the American Heart Association and Lindsey will share with our students what this organization has done for and her own "heart story".
