Open House is from 5:00-6:30. Please help remind families about signing up for different areas to assist and volunteer during the school year. Every family that signs up for something will be entered in a drawing for a Fred Meyer gift card. Sign up sheets will be by the office. We will also have free yogurt that was donated by Chobani. School shirts will be sold, and we will have staff providing applications and information about the before and after school program with the 21st Century Community Learning Center grant.

The following link has ideas for teaching reading skills, as well as increasing interest in reading:

Just as adults are talking about the upcoming election, Hilary and Trump, so will students. This link from PBS has several great resources and downloads for the upcoming Presidential election. There is also a nice poster download about debating, which would be great for any topic that your class is discussing this year:
