Hello Wonderful Families,


Today concludes our read-a-thon for Ghana.  Please help students add up their time on their star chart and return it to school on Monday.  We have kept a separate log here at school. These went home with students Friday, so please combine them and total up all hours.
For 2nd grade, you need to complete 6-8 hours of community service.  Think about great ways to serve the community in which you live or go to school.  Community service is a great way to make a positive difference.
