Happy Winter Break Everyone!

Just thinking ahead to our Valentine’s party, I would like to have a little contest for the best “Valentine Holder”! If you go online to Pinterest or just google “valentines”, you can find lots of ideas for cute valentine holders out of cereal, shoe, or Kleenex boxes. Create a cute valentine box, bag, or otherwise to bring to school to store your valentines in as we pass them out. On party day, we’ll have a vote for the best holder and that person will get a prize! (It will be a good one!!)

Now, no worries if you are not a crafty person! If this is not your cup of tea, just decorate a paper bag (lunch size or a little larger) with your name on it to hang off of your desk. (I do have bags here at school if you need one – just let me know.) I want this to be fun! No pressure ok?

Ok, get to work you crafters! When yours is done, feel free to bring it in any time before Feb. 13th!

Raise A Reader School Challenge!!

tn_boywithbookss8We have the incredible opportunity to win $5,000 for our school library through a contest called, Raise a Reader School Challenge. Individual readers are also eligible for great prizes.

The contest is sponsored by the International Reading Association and Parents Magazine.

As a school, we are participating in a national contest that requires students to log their reading minutes from March 8 to May 31. We would like to ask every parent to register for this program today. You will then log in your child’s minutes read at home. The winning school (most minutes read) will receive $5,000 toward library books.

Simply go to this link: RAISE A READER SCHOOL CHALLENGE

If you have questions at any time, check with Mrs. VandenBerg, our school librarian, or your child’s teacher.

Thank you for doing such a great job to raise your child to be a reader and for supporting our school library!
