BOOK IN A BOX 2026

 CONGRATULATIONS! You have survived the first book report project! I am so very proud of the kids!!👏👏👏

Parents, you did a GREAT JOB allowing them to do their thing!! 

Look how proud they are of their projects! Their smiles are the very best!!

Now that the kids have done the first round, the second round will be a bit easier. They know what to expect, especially the Oral Presentation part. 

There are 2 things they can do to improve:

    1) Do not look down to read...look at the audience.

    2) Many of the kids went way over or way under             the minute and a half mark. Practice staying                 close to the time. 

The next project is due on Wednesday, November 4th. For this one, the kids can choose ANY of the other projects in the RED FOLDER.

Here are the choices:

PARENTS! I NEED YOUR HELP ON THIS! PLEASE READ: 

Since everyone will be choosing different projects, it will be extremely important for you to read the directions together with your child.

Also, when it's time to check off the items on the rubric, please do this together with your child.

Student Council Elections 2026

 What an exciting afternoon! Today (9/18) was Student Council Election Day!

We were very excited to be a part of it!!

These were the very brave candidates:

Mrs. Marasco did an excellent job preparing everyone for this valuable experience. She does such a wonderful job leading the Student Council kids all year long. 

I loved seeing the supportive parents! They are the best!

We all prayed that the Lord would give them peace as they gave their speeches. 

I was EXTREMELY impressed by every single one of them! WOW!! I was especially proud of 8 of my former 3rd grade students.

Our class took this very seriously, and I was very pleased with how they went through the process thoughtfully.
