September 26th News and Notes

Pizza Hut Book It! Reading Incentive Program Begins October 1st!
In the communication folder on Monday evening, you will find a form for Book It! for the month of October.   First graders are asked to read 10 books during the month, and the goal for second graders is 15 books.  Reading homework assignments do not count as Book It! books.  Chapter books may be counted by writing each chapter as a single "book" on the form.  If you would like to participate, please complete the project and return the form by the due date at the bottom.  Students with completed forms by the due date will receive a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.   Please note that this project is not required, but a great incentive for students to practice their skills and read for fun at home!
