**Thank you to the parents and grandparents that participated on Parent
Involvement Day. We greatly appreciated and enjoyed the time you spent in
our classroom.
**Thanks also to all of the students and parents that participated in
the St. Jude's Math-a-thon. We had 10 students to turn in donations that
totaled almost $400.00. The coordinator I spoke to was very excited and said
that our donation was greatly appreciated and would be put to good use. She
will send me an email soon confirming that she received our donation and
prompting me to order the prizes that each student earned. Thanks again!!

reach different point levels, names display their accomplishments in the
lunch room, and a top reader out of the fifth grade will be selected at the
end of the year based on AR points.
