Each semester the Masonic Lodge of Vandalia donates two bicycles to our school to give away as an incentive to read. Students who complete their reading homework and improve their reading levels are entered into the drawing. The recipients for this semester are Di’Ontai and Mya.
We also want to recognize the kindness of James, who was the original winner of one of the bikes, but he has multiple bikes at home, so he wanted us to draw another person. What a wonderful act of kindness! Congratulations! Thank you Masonic Lodge!

The 2nd Graders are learning cursive!!

Juniors and seniors don’t forget to turn in your pizza order forms and money to the office or Mrs. Jones tomorrow.
Our second grade friends reading with a partner as they look for answers to their team talk questions. They were reading an informational book and using the text to support the answers to their questions. Keep reading for meaning!
