Elizabeth Ide-We are very pleased with the response to the Math-a-Thon. Many students have brought back their permission slips to participate. They have been given a workbook or a CD to use for practicing their math as well as an envelope. After finishing the problems, students should collect pledges from their sponsors in check form made out to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Please return the checks and the prize preference form in the envelope and we will forward them to the hospital. Thank you for helping your children to practice their math and supporting this worthy cause.
Prairieview- In an attempt to encourage reading and keep our students excited about books, this year we have been displaying Authors and Their Books on one of our bulletin boards. This display is updated monthly and features an author who has several books in our collection. We plan to choose highly-regarded authors, authors in the news, and old favorites who may be new to our current students. After the excitement of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (the last in the Harry Potter series), our September author was J.K. Rowling. In October, we had Judy Blume and now we have Gary Paulsen, who was recently awarded the Chicago Tribune Young Adult Book Prize.
