We're thrilled to announce that our Read-A-Thon is underway! We're counting on you to make it a success. If you haven't already, please take a moment to activate your child’s personal reader page by clicking on the following link:
https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/RdZUvT?utm=email
It only takes a minute or two, and your support will greatly assist us in meeting our financial goals.
We're working hard to motivate your child to read and understand the benefits of reading. As part of this fundraiser, all reading minutes logged will earn students votes for a crazy and embarrassing costume that Mr. Hutley will need to wear, as well as additional rewards for the top class and top reader! See the attached flier for more details.
Thank you for your help in reaching our goal.

The Pre-K students learned how plants drink water. They were able to observe this process with a color changing flower experiment. The flowers absorbed the water through the stem and then into the flower petals.
