~ Friday Fun Day is this Friday and the theme is Dress to Impress!!! Wear something that makes you feel good!! Dress it up a bit, but make sure to wear school appropriate shoes.

~ This week we will be doing district wide assessments, NWEA MAPS. Please make sure your child gets a good night of sleep, has a healthy breakfast and arrives on time to school. Thank you! To help us concentrate while we test, we get to chew gum, so if you have any to donate, please send it in with your student.

~ There is a FREE screening of the award winning documentary Counted Out (click link to see trailer) at CR on Saturday. The documentary, directed by Vicki Abeles, suggests that by changing how math is taught and perceived, society can unlock collective power to solve complex, real-world problems.
