Our third graders have been busy readers this semester. There is a prize for the first student who reaches their goal of three books a month. Last months winner was Kristen Star, who reached her goal first and has already started her next set of books. Come on students you can do it, we are proud of all of you. Keep up the GOOD WORK!

Those cold winter days will soon be over. Spring is almost here and it's time for the beautiful flowers to start blooming, and new life to begin. Don't forget to bring seeds to plant, so we can watch them grow throughout the semester. We will also be planning more outside activities so we can enjoy the beautiful spring weather.

Don't forget to wear green! Saint Patrick's Day is almost here. March 17^th is Saint Patrick's Day. We'll be making shamrock's for good luck, and searching for a leprechaun's pot of gold. Parents don't forget this day is a shortened day, students will be dismissed at 12:15.

The third graders are hosting their first bake sale to raise money for their class library. The money will be used to purchase books for the student's in-class library for them to check out. Expanding the library will also help students to reach their three books a month goal. Parents are asked to bake or buy a yummy treat. Your cooperation is needed. The bake sale will be Friday, March 31^st during the lunch period.

Reminder! Parents don't forget that at the end of every month we celebrate each child’s birthday in that month. We ask that you bring a treat to class to help us celebrate. We will be doing this Monday, March 27^th at the end of class. You are welcomed to join us.

Our annual science fair is almost here! Student's were asked a few months ago to think of a project, and should have been preparing it.

Parent's and family members are asked to attend. It will be held Friday, May 26 at 7:00 p.m. in the gym.
