We're past the mid way mark of February and ready to count down on our reading log for "I Love to Read" sponsored by WISH TV. Hopefully, there will be several students who have read 2,500 minutes in January and February. Maybe one of our students will win a $1,000 dollar savings bond.
This month we have several students with Eagle's Nest passes: eight graders Jack Hart, Kiera Helm, and Emily Kirby; seventh grader David Engle; and sixth graders Nathan Brelage, Josie Clevenger, Sydney Decker, Andrew Dunnuck, Libby Fox, Olivia Freeman, Maddie Gullion and Jared Hunt.
Next Monday, February 21, is the beginning of a two week push to raise money for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society by having "Penny Wars" and first period classes are pitted against each other. Pennies count and other coins and bills count against the pennies, so some classes may have a negative balance. Because this cause is near and dear to me, I am starting all the classes off with a negative balance by putting a dollar bill in each box. I am looking forward to it!
