Celebrating the Magnificent Women who have made a difference in the world.

Hi Family, Spring is among us. I hope you are ready for the sun, rain, and beautiful flowers. This is the sign of change and a time for the new things to appear. Spring gives us a chance to smell the flowers. Let's start reading a new book, learn a new word, or start a new hobby. Whatever you choose, just be happy and enjoy.

Teachers please support your students with the PAPER APP. There is a challenge for the month of March. It started March 1st. You have to score three points in order to be eligible to win.

To score a Paper Three-Pointer, students must complete a Paper activity on three separate days before each draw. The first round of prizes will be drawn on March 15th and the second on April 1st.

What qualifies as a Paper Activity?

Paper activities occur within the platform. Examples include:
