Dr. Seuss- Read Across America was a great success! We want to thank Ms. Witte and Ms. Lapp from Bloomsburg University and Mr. Paul for reading to us.
It has been a pleasure having Ms. Donatti as our student teacher. She will be finished her 4th grade assignment on Thursday. She will be working in 1st grade with Mrs. Burns next so we'll still have a chance to see her.

"Keep a Clear Mind" book 4 will be distributed tomorrow and due March 15th. This is part of our science and drug prevention program. Thanks for your help and cooperation with this project.

In order to help your child do his very best on the PSSA tests, I am suggesting that your child spends at least 15 minutes EACH night, Monday through Thursday, on Study Island. A signed note from parent stating dates and times on Friday will result in bonus points and a treat.
