Clifford Day, April 5 @ Canyon Inn
Invite your family and friends to dine at Canyon Inn on April 5th! Be sure to bring your flyer in and let them know you’re there for the Clifford fundraiser, and 20% of proceeds will go back to our school!
Lap-a-thon and Carnival
After school, from 2:40-4:40, we will be celebrating with a carnival!!! Join us right after school and bring your family to join in on the fun. Carnival tickets will be earned through participation in the Lap-A-Thon as well as raising donations. Tickets will be available to purchase during the carnival.
This year we’re seeking flat donations rather than pledges for numbers of laps run. Donations are due Friday, March 24 (a week before the event) to determine number of carnival tickets earned, in advance of the carnival. Of course we will still accept donations after the 24th, although it won’t be guaranteed that you will have your tickets in hand prior to the start of the carnival. Students are encouraged to have a lap goal and foster friendly competition with friends and classmates.
Schedule:
Lap-a- Thon, 8:30-12:30 on upper track
Carnival, 2:40-4:40 on blacktop

Read-a-thon 2017
The K-5 Read-a-thon kicked off on February 1st and goes through March 2nd! Don’t forget to encourage your kids to read and gather pledges for how many minutes they’ve read in a month. Please ask friends, family members, and neighbors to make a pledge or donation. Every little bit counts!
Thank you for your support in helping make this Read-a-thon a success!
_______________
Tips for Success:
- Set a daily reading goal. The Read-a-thon is based on minutes read, which allows students with different reading speeds to compete on a level playing field for recognition.
- Pick a quiet, well-lit and comfortable place to read.
- Use a clock to ensure accuracy of how many minutes read.
- Enjoy!
