Virtual Classroom Reader Volunteers STILL Needed for March 5
Do you have a special hobby? Do you have a fun job? Do you have a cool pet? We are looking for community members and parents to join the kids via Zoom or submit a recording of themselves reading a children's book. March 1-5 is Read Across America Week, and we would love to give our students one more reason to be excited about reading! We need a variety of guest readers who would be willing to tell us a little bit about themselves and then share a picture book. If you know someone who would be interested in reading, please share their contact information with clivepto@gmail.com. We will work with them directly to coordinate the details.
Dinners for Staff on Conference Nights
To show our appreciation for all the Clive staff, the PTO will be providing meals in the staff lounge on conference evenings. This spring those dates are March 4 and March 8. If you would like to contribute to the meal, please sign up to donate an item at: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/409084CAFAB22A5FD0-spring2. We thank you in advance for your support and donations!
Challenge of the Books: Last Chance to Register
If you have a fourth-, fifth-, or sixth-grader who loves to read, consider signing them up for our Challenge of the Books team! Students will read a set of books and then compete against other schools in the district in book trivia. To sign up, click here: https://forms.gle/NcL2JcHDdghqVcE58. Questions?
