Great Poetry Race: Thank you for encouraging your student to participate in the Great Poetry Race: Emilee was the winner with 51 adults listening to her read the poem Smart. Colby was runner up with 41. Both students received a poetry book. The others who participated with 5 or more readings were: Taylee—20, Conner—13, Caleb—12, Taylor—12, Mackenzie—10, Makenna—10, Tyler—10, Weston—10, Ezra—9, Timmy—6. The participation reward was a bag of freeze dried fruit.

Teacher In-Service: Please remember that there will be no school on Monday, April 18. The teachers have an in-service day in Spokane.

Autobiography: Please help your student fill out the autobiography paper and return on Tuesday, April 19. I realize you already filled out the information about birth weight and length but that was just for us to compare to the size of an animal we were studying at the time. Now we’re onto another book and need that information plus some more. The students love hearing about themselves. Thanks for your help!
