Please fill out your reading circle sheets and have your parents sign.

Graduation reminders:

Please notify Mrs. Ritter of how many family members will be attending the breakfast.

Be at the school at 6:30 the night of graduation.  I recommend a class picture at this time, before the graduation starts!

Scrap books should be displayed the night of graduation on a table in the hallway.  Make sure your child picks his/hers up before leaving that night.

Parents Please Note:

Thank you for all of your support in getting prizes and encouraging your children to read.  As a school, we read a phenomenal amount of words and books!
