Week #3: August 28th-September 1st

It's been a busy week with Back-to-School Night, reading & writing benchmarks, library day, etc. Whew! I am totally enjoying this group of kids. They are so hardworking and just nice! We have some fun stuff coming up as we dive into curriculum, stay tuned. I'll be placing benchmark scores in PowerSchool and emailing the specifics. Please keep an eye out for those and let me know if you have questions.

We are in the thick of collecting donations for our iRead program. The program has been highly successful in motivating students and we really need community support for funding. Please let me know if you are interested. We also invite you to visit Chili's on Wednesday, August 30th for their Give Back Event to benefit our Reading Program. Just mention you are supporting Lava Ridge's iRead program and they will donate part of the proceeds to our program: and you don't have to cook dinner--it's a win! We are so grateful that Chili's agrees that creating lifelong readers matter! Feel free to pass along the flyer below.
