Reminder tomorrow is our basketball game at NDHS , 6pm ! We are excited to see you there ! $3 adults, kids are free. CASH ONLY !
* basketball players & cheerleader please arrive by 5:30pm , 5:45pm the latest in your uniform! Don't forget to bring your bottle of water *

As the weather begins to warm up and students are enjoying more time outside, please remember to send your student to school with a clear water bottle each day.
We were fortunate to provide water bottles to students at the beginning of the year and at various times throughout the year as needed. At this time, we no longer have extras available, so we ask that families help ensure students come prepared with one each day.
Thank you for your support! 😊

Just a reminder families ! Even though students may not have reading logs this month, as a school we should all be reading the wild robot book at home. If students are unable to read with an adult, tune into our Facebook page to read along with Mrs. Thompson as she post a video every night the chapters we are all supposed to be reading together! Students are then to answer the trivia questions and turn it in the next day to be able to get a prize !
Tonight we are on chapters 21-24.
Thank you for your support in helping our students grow with their reading!
