Please watch your student's Thursday folder right after Winter Break for a permission form to fill out and return.

The 1,000,000 Minute Reading Challenge started on Monday, December 5.
Mr. Buchmann has challenged our K-6 student body to read 1,000,000 minutes between December 5 and February 24. Students can count minutes they read by themselves, parents or others read to them, and time spent reading to others, at both home and school.
Our goal is for every student to read 30 minutes a day, at least five days a week.
If our school meets the 1,000,000 minute goal, then Mr. Buchmann will dress up in a silly costume for an entire school day. There will be exciting prizes for K-5 and 6th grade levels.
In this issue we would like to Thank to one of the two sponsors.
