The first graders are doing an awesome job of reading to meet their reading goal for Camp Read-A-Lot. As of Thursday afternoon they have read 1036 books leaving them with only 364 more to go to meet the 1400 book goal.
Please mark your calendars for Monday, March 21st. The annual spring music concert will be held at the High School at 7:00.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 26th. Washington Township’s Family Fun Night will be held at the school that evening. The first graders will be making a Chocolate Lover’s Basket.......so be on the look out for all things chocolate to help fill the first grade basket. We have a some boxes of chocolates, chocolate covered raisin, a couple of packets of hot cocoa, some Lindor Truffles, a chocolate recipe box, a German chocolate cake mix, and some Ghiradelli chocolates. I will be buying a basket this weekend and continuing to collect chocolate themed items all of next week.
If you ever have any concerns or questions, please let me know. You can call me at school or shoot me an email and I will respond as quickly as possible. I would rather answer questions and concerns when they are small rather than let them snowball into a huge problem.
