Week 2 Results

What a great second week of reading!  We have had an astounding 33,495 total minutes read by students, teachers, and staff so far.  A reminder that if your student forgot their log on Monday, they can bring it in next Monday, March 19.  Every minute counts!  Also, if students have misplaced their reading logs, extra copies can be found in the main office.  Special thanks to John McNerney, Betsy Brown, and Liz Gustin for helping to tally minutes Monday morning.  Any parent who would like to help tally minutes on Monday mornings are more than welcome...any help is appreciated!

A reminder that children can continue finding sponsors any time through the end of March.

We are starting to see students already achieve the individual reading goals (450 minutes for K-2, 600 for Grades 3-4, and 900 for Grades 5-6) to earn "Mountain Lion Reader" status!  We had 14 students reach this goal.  These readers will receive a vote for which teacher or staff member will do something "heroic" during the Closing Ceremony on Thursday, April 5th.  We will pass out the voting slips a day or two before the Closing Ceremony once we have a complete list of all the students who have completed their reading goals as Mountain Lion Readers.

This Wednesday, March 14th, is "Who's Your Hero" Day where students are encouraged to come to school dressed up as a hero - this could be a hero from their favorite book or any other type of hero they choose such as a parent, sibling, teacher, coach, professional role, musician, artist, athlete, etc.  We hope to be taking photos of students for the classes that have library that day and perhaps stopped by the other classrooms that don't have library that day for additional photos.  Only photos of students that have signed the release form from their parents will be up on the blog.  Any extra help in reminding students would be wonderful!

LOOKING FOR HELP – we are looking for parent volunteers who might be willing to help us hang fabric capes in the hallway that students will be creating in Art Class depicting their favorite book hero.  We will be hanging the capes on Thursday, March 15^th beginning at 7pm…any help is appreciated!  Also, we always welcome anyone who might have time on Monday mornings from 8-9am, or whatever amount of time you are able to give, to tally reading logs.

COMING UP NEXT WEEK - “Mystery Reader Week!”  A short passage from a book will be read during lunchtime and students will have the chance to guess the book title, author, and who is the “mystery reader.”
