If you are able, please consider donating items from your businesses or personal resources to contribute to our raffle prizes. It could be a gift card, a voucher for a free service, or any other item you think would make a great prize. Your contribution would be greatly appreciated!
If you can donate, please get in touch with Bri Lawyer by April 10th at 801-669-7466 or [email protected].

Message from our Battle of the Books Committee:
Even though the Battle of the Books battles are over, we hope to continue to encourage students to read the Battle of the Books novels. We will celebrate the students’ continued effort with an extra recess for each student who reads at least 5 books from their assigned list. 3rd and 4th graders will be rewarded with an extra recess on May 7th, 5th and 6th graders on May 9th.
To earn the extra recess, students need to have the following completed by May 1st:
1) Be a 3rd – 6th grader
2) Read 5 or more Battle of the Books novels from your grade’s list.
3) Fill out a slip for each book and turn it in to Mrs. Roundy.
Past participation in the Battle of the Books battles is NOT required to earn the extra recess.
Also, if you have not seen the Battle of the Books Board in the library or on our All 20 Club wall, you should check it out. It has been a fun way to recognize each student for their hard work!
Happy Reading!

Parents,

As we are now in the middle of winter we need a little help with our drop off zones. If you are picking up your child in the parking area we ask that you not wave the child across traffic. Instead wait until you are at the crosswalk area where we have suppervision. If you need to pick up your child before this area please park the car and walk to the crosswalk area. This will make for a much safer pickup experience for your child. Here are a few reminders for our pick up zone.

• Slow down while at schoo
• Put your cell phones off
• Be courteous of others
• Always watch for kids
• Pull forward
• Never wave students across traffic
• At the stop sign on 800 East please make only right hand turns
