Read to Achieve Information Night: We will have an information session for parents of third graders this Thursday at 5:30 in the Media Center. If your child has received 2's or wavers between a 2 and a 3 in Reading (tests and/or report card grades), it is important that you attend. The meeting is for ALL parents of third graders, but especially those whose children are at risk and are not demonstrating proficiency in literacy skills. Again, all are invited because Read to Achieve affects everyone.
***Here are a couple current articles from the News and Observer about Read to Achieve:

Community service: Community Service for second quarter is due this Friday! The children are expected to complete at least 30 minutes of service. For each activity, they are required to write the date, time, location and the task they completed. Your child may include photographs and visuals. They are then to write or type at least a paragraph on the following:
1. Describe in detail what volunteer task they did.
2. Their reactions and feelings about their good deed.
