Freedom Grows Green!

Last week, we were celebrating going green and this week we are growing green.  Our fifth grade students are growing winter vegetables and learning about decimals at the same time.  They designed and planted this week.  Later, our crops will be for sale. We continue to create authentic learning experiences for our students. 

Report Cards 

Report cards will be released on October 29th.  Remember that our reports are standards based and some of our standards are ongoing meaning they are taught all year.  If you have any questions about your child's progress, please reach out to his/her teacher. 

Red Ribbon & Safe Schools Week

Next week is Red Ribbon & Safe Schools Week.  During this week we emphasize the importance of student well-being.  Age appropriate topics like anti-bullying, safe decision-making, and substance abuse may be brought up in class discussions. See the infographic below to see how we will bring awareness everyday.

We had a great turnout for our annual Title 1 Spooky Literacy Night.  Families enjoyed the book fair, eating, participating in literacy activities, and trick or treating.  Thanks for coming out to learn with us and a special thanks to our Family Resource Center Coordinator Sherri Bishop for organizing and sponsoring this event.
