Happy Saturday Eagles!
We had an awesome week! Our students in grades 4 and 5 worked very hard on NC Check-In assessments, and it shows! Our reading assessments are higher overall, and it was obvious by watching the students use their test-taking strategies that they were trying their best and putting forth effort. We are so proud of our students for their hard work, and we are proud of our teachers for their time planning and delivering quality instruction and teaching students useful strategies. I am so proud of our school!
Our Winter Wonderland Dance was a huge success!! We had a HUGE turnout, and everyone was smiling, laughing, and having so much fun. It was an awesome night! Thank you to our families who supported our school by coming out for the dance. Thank you to the following staff members for all of your planning and hard work on the Winter Wonderland Dance Committee:
Mrs. Mitchell
Ms. Rodriguez
Ms. Kelly
Mrs. Feghhi
Mrs. Reedy
Mr. Sanfilippo
Mrs. Alicea
Mrs. Dutcher
Ms. Berry
Mrs. Hewett-Taylor
Mrs. Washington
Mrs. Wilt
Additionally, thank you to all staff members who helped with food, pictures, monitoring the dance, collecting tickets, and the list goes on and on. It truly was a team effort. You all rock!!
Mid-Year Assessments
All students are currently completing their math iReady diagnostic. It must be completed by the end of January. This mid-year diagnostic provides information to teachers about student growth and helps inform instruction for the second semester. Please encourage your students to take their time and show their work. We need accurate assessment data to meet students' needs.
Krispy Kreme Fundraiser
Our Krispy Kreme fundraiser continues through this week. We are selling Krispy Kreme certificates for $8.50 each, and they may be redeemed at Krispy Kreme for one dozen doughnuts. One dozen doughnuts normally costs over $10.00, so you are saving money by purchasing certificates through our school. We receive 50% of the profit to purchase supplies that will directly benefit our students. All money and orders are due by January 24. Thank you for your support!
Talent Show
Our talent show for 2020 will be held on the evening of March 5. Students signed up for try-outs this week, and try-outs will be held next week in the mornings. We are excited to see our students showing off their talents and plan a fun night for our families and community. Be sure to mark your calendars!!
Box Tops
Thank you to all who donated Box Tops! We will be collecting until the beginning of May. Please continue to collect Box Tops and turn them in by April. Box Tops provide extra funding for our school.
THANK YOU for being a Box Tops Hero!
