*REACH* Leadership Academy: Look into our week 3/5-3/9 (Unit 4 week 6)

Good afternoon parents and guardians,

This past Friday was one of our student's last day, Sawyer. We will miss you dearly and wish you and your family the best in Washington!

Please be sure to check your child's backpack everyday to clean it out and look at important papers.

Scholastic Book Orders
March Book catalogs have gone home. Even though there is deadline to submit orders, feel free to order books online whenever you would like. As soon as you place an order, let me know so I can approve it. The system is no longer notifying teachers when there is a new order.
Scholastic Books-not only do they have monthly books for $1, but you help the class earn point to purchase books. Feel free to place an order using the link below and use our classroom identification code. Book orders are usually delivered in a week and a half.
Classroom code: M9M7P
