***November 24-28-No School. Thanksgiving Holiday! We are so Blessed!Enjoy your family!
Week of December 1-5
***I am very excited about the book order this year. As many of you know I was selected as a member of the 2008-09 Scholastic Teacher Advisory Panel. I got a chance to work with these great educational leaders in New York during February. Check it out at Scholastic.com/teacheradvisor. Book Order is now on-line and much easier to use. Simply go to www.scholastic.com/parentordering and click on the book order to view the items. You make your own password now and you can pay securely on-line and the books will still come to the school with the other orders. Make sure you notice the deadline. I know this will be easier for some parents. Thank you for your continued support of Reading!
