December 20th News and Notes

Six Flags Read To Succeed
In the Friday folder, please look for the form for the Six Flags Read To Succeed program.  Students completing 360 minutes of recreational reading between now and February 20th will receive a free ticket to Six Flags.  Books read for the Book It! program can also count for this, but Reading homework assignments cannot.  Please read the information on the form for further details.  This is not required, but what a fun way to start the new year by making a goal to read more often!

Snow Days and the Blog
 If we should happen to have a snow day within the next few months, please be sure to check this blog for updates on what might be due the day we come back, etc.  Unless the power is out, I should be able to update you via this blog from my home way over in Illinois!
