Scholastic Bookstore Open: We have had students ask about being able to order from Scholastic Books. If you are interested in ordering any books for your child, doing so from our class store with Scholastic provides us with points that we can use for our fifth-grade classroom. Orders are due by October 3rd. You can shop at the link below.

We have asked all students to have their lines for the Holiday Show memorized by November 6th. If you find yourself with free time in the evenings or weekends throughout the next month, we would love for you to practice reading lines with your child. Their script should always be in their yellow folder. Thank you in advance for your help!
