How are birthdays celebrated?

You are welcome to bring a birthday snack of cupcakes, muffins, fresh fruit
and real fruit juice.  We can serve the snack in our rooms or in the outdoor

What are Bluebonnet Projects?

Students will produce a creative project which portrays some aspect of the
Bluebonnet book that the child has already read and passed the AR test on.
In addition to grades given for the creative project, students will take an
AR test.  Some copies are available at our school library, but most
children will need to go to their local branch of the Houston Public Library
and borrow the book.  Copies can also be purchased at bookstores.  If you
have further questions, please call Ms. Williams before or after school.
Thank you.
