We've Reached Our Goal
Thanks to all the parents and students, our class has met our goal for the 100th Day of School. We collected 102 food items for the Food Pantry.

Congratulations - Everyone received their Pizza Hut reading certificate for the month of January.


Parents- Please check your child's Take Home Folder for an envelope, inside are the results from your child's MAP assessment and a letter about tracking 2nd grade homework. Also inside your child's folder is a reading log form provided by Great America. If you would like a free ticket to Great America, please fill out the form for any books your child has read. Every student has qualified in the classroom based on the Reading Logs they have turned in this year.
