Great job 3rd and 4th graders! AIR Assessments are completed (with the exception of a few makeups)! The students and staff worked so hard the last 2 weeks to show what they know. Thank you to all of the parents for your support. Have a wonderful weekend!

SPRING BOOK FAIR
The Book Fair is coming! Be sure to read this informative letter from Mrs. Messer. You will find a web page to preview, volunteer sign up opportunities, and the schedule. Thank you in advance for supporting this fun literacy event for your child.
We are in need of volunteers for our Literati Book Fair the first week of May. Please click this easy, online schedule if you are available: Book Fair Volunteer Schedule
BOOK FAIR SCHEDULE
Our book fair is here and the students are excited to shop for summer reading options! Click here to see when your child's homeroom will be shopping: Schedule
If planning on using the digital gift card option, please load the gift card by 8:30 AM on the day of your child's book fair visit.
DIGITAL GIFT CARDS
Digital gift cards are a safe and easy payment method that eliminates children carrying cash to school. It is a secure, cash-free way for your child to shop the Book Fair. Digital gift cards also make excellent end of the year teacher gifts! Gift cards can be purchased from the online fair. Click here to make shopping easy for your child: Gift Cards
Mrs. Messer will have print out of studentsâ names and amounts as they come through the book fair! Students do not need any paperwork! Weâve got them covered!
Note: Remaining digital gift card funds are not returnable to a credit card. Instead, they become a gift card balance. With the help of my volunteers, I will do my best to have your child use as much of the balance as possible if you choose this option for payment. (Remaining balances from past fairs are available and will be used if needed.)

GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
Fourth Grade Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
On May 10, the fourth grade students will participate in the growth and development class. The boys and girls will attend the class separately. The girlsâ class will be taught by our school nurse, Susan Linton. The boysâ class will be taught by our PE teacher, Jake Schoenberger.
The class includes a basic study of the changes related to puberty. The class overview and DVDâs are available on Susan Lintonâs and Jake Schoenbergerâs blackboard site under Growth and Development and Puberty-A Journey.
Any questions about the class can be directed to Susan Linton or Jake Schoenberger.
Thank you,
