Our third grade classroom cafe is ready for an awesome STARBOOKS day! The kids will be sampling books as they sit back and sample some snacks and hot chocolate. Mrs. Frederick's classroom smells amazing!




Today for our library time, JH students had a “blind date with a book." Sixty books were wrapped and labeled with reading level, genre, and what the book was about. Students selected their book based on that information as part of our weekly checkout. With their selection, students promised to give the book at least one week to see if they were a “match”.




Per Coach Kerry Hodge, there will be no Pee Wee basketball practice today, February 8th.
REMINDER THAT : Today is a our Wednesday 2:15 dismissal day. Pre-k will be dismissed at 1:45. K-12 will be dismissed at a 2:15.

Seven of our 8th and 10th grade FFA members attended the Illinois FFA Ground Zero Conference at SIUC on January 27-28. Ground Zero is a leadership and personal development conference for 8th-10th grade students, designed to help FFA members grow as individuals and in their FFA experiences. Members also enjoyed time at the Saluki After Party put on by the SIUC College of Agricultural and Life Sciences.
While there Mr. Capps presented two Professional Development workshops to Illinois Agriculture Teachers on leadership curriculum, and how to apply for agriculture teacher awards.

SENIOR SHIRTS FOR SALE!!
We are ordering shirts to wear on the class trip, but they also wanted them early to wear them for other senior events the second semester of the year (i.e. HS Basketball Senior Night, 2nd fundraiser, etc.) and they wanted to open them up to their families for purchase as well. If you would like to order one they are $20 a piece and can be ordered through the online store until Sunday, January 29th. If you need to order with cash, please let me know so I can get your sizes ordered. I have also attached a picture of what they look like.
This is not a fundraiser, this is just a way to show support to the Senior Class of 2023.
