This week is National BETA Club Sponsor Appreciation Week. We would love to give a shout-out to our BETA sponsor, Misti Shook. Our state convention is almost a month away!

The Scholar Bowl match against Field is going to be rescheduled for a later date due to illness at Field. I will send a new match date as soon as I receive it! Thank you for your understanding.

A big shout out to Viktor's "Demi- Dad" for surprising 3rd graders by playing live for our class: "You're Welcome" from Moana 2s movie 🍿 It was a beautiful exposure to the guitar 🎸 & this Demi-Dad really rocked the song & lyrics! With this addition to our day, our Jan. Good Behavior Party was a huge success! Thanks to all who sent in snacks also! They ate like kings! 👑

First grade is able to bring in a guest music teacher twice a month thanks to money raised by families working at the concession stand and through other generous community donors. Today, each first grader got to play the xylophone and dance to fun songs while learning about beats, rhythm, and the notes C, D, and E! A huge thank you to everyone whose generosity with their money and time made this possible!

Attention 8th Grade students and parents (Or anyone who wants to help!) Graduation will be here before we know it. We need more parents and students signed up to work concessions for our 8th Grade Graduation Trip. Please sign up! We can work 4 slots (if available) one parent and up to 3 students. Students must have an adult present to work. Check out the Volleyball schedule and tournament links below to sign up and put 8th Grade as who you are representing. We are very under budget compared to this time last year for fundraising. Please sign up and help 8th Grade and PTO cover volleyball concessions! Thank you so much!
