Greetings Panther Families,

I hope everyone is doing well. THANK YOU for your continued support. During our schoolwide DoubleGoods fundraiser we raised over $30,000, and we could not have done it without you. We will have what we need to celebrate students and staff! THANK YOU. We have a few important dates coming up. Mark your calendars there is no school for students March 13-14, 2023. Students should work on assignments given by their teachers during the time out of school. Every night students have the ability to further their learning. Have your student login in to iReady, practice phonics, CVC words, counting, skip counting, measurements, addition, subtraction, multiplication facts, and reading. We have our spring bookfair happening now. We also have a resource room with plenty of books for students to take home. We want to see all students engaged in reading. Give us a call if you would like your scholar to bring home books. Families also make sure you are connected to Class Dojo to see all of our weekly updates and reminders. Thank you again for all you do!

Your Proud Principal,

Stanetress Evans

Students who read 10+ books will receive a FREE Personal Pan Pizza from Pizza Hut & the class who reads the most books by the end of the challenge will receive a CLASS PARTY!
