Start collecting your spare change!! We’re gearing up for a school-wide challenge- our Be the Change COIN DRIVE, beginning March 13th!
Last year we raised more than $10,000 for our ESE library, and we know we can beat that number this year!! This year we’ll be splitting our earnings between 4 ESE activity classes- PE, ART, MUSIC, and LIBRARY!
Totals will be announced daily! The top 3 classes that bring the most money in by the end of the week will earn a class pizza party! Plus, every day, we will count totals to give a daily prize to the top class in each grade that day!
Let’s gather up our change and bring it in for our ESE activity classes!! ALL money counts toward your class goal- coins, dollars, checks- it all works! Start collecting now- we can’t wait to share our totals next week!!
Spring & Class Picture Day is Monday, March 13th.
There is no better way than to spend a cold, snowy, and icy day than reading. On Friday, we officially kicked off our annual All Bentonville Reads. We will be reading Almost Super by Marion Jenson. We sent 1 book home per family, along with a bookmark outlining the pages to read each night. Homeroom teachers will share the trivia questions and reading links with students during our AMI Posted Learning Days.
Lots of fun to kick off our week together next week, Owls! 💙🦹♀️🦸♂️
We hope all of our owls have enjoyed this beautiful snow day. School is back in session tomorrow. 💙
