All in good fun! Getting the sillies out and ready to rock the STAAR test!

Visitors in the library came in the feathered variety last week. Mrs. Irisawa, the PreK teacher, had an amazing success rate hatching chicken eggs. The students got to experience the miracles of life as they watched the chickens emerge from their shells. It was a lot of work checking humidity and temperatures in the incubator, turning the eggs three times a day, and the care after hatching, however it was all worth it to hear the happy little peeps - of the students and the chicks!

Mr. Irisawa, the 4th grade Science teacher, had his own miracles to share with his class as well. Their little ones are now residing in the library until they go to their new homes.

Student Council sponsored another successful cake decorating event! Thank you Ms. Hughes and the Student Council members for all the hard work and service you provided for teachers, students, and the community this year!

By end of school year:

If you have a student in 7-12th grade, please be sure they have paid their laptop insurance, have their calculator in good condition, as well as the charger which goes with their computer. You are welcomed at the library if you have any questions or concerns about your students account. Thank you, and please, spread the word!
