March is reading month!!! This year it’s “Go Wild for Reading.” This Tuesday we’ll read in the jungle, Thursday the Whispering Pines Mobile Zoo will be visiting, and Friday is another $.25 popcorn day and crazy colors dress-up day.

Just a reminder that March 8th during the school day will be the Sport Stacking Tournament.  Individuals who have signed up will compete from 9:05-9:35, then results will be announced in a special assembly at 12:45. Also, Cupstacking Club will have its final meeting this Tuesday, but the location has been changed to the multi-use room by the gym. Also, because of the tournament, Mrs. Kelley has changed our Friday PE to THURSDAY.

The PTO is looking for volunteers to help with the upcoming Book Fair. We are seeking volunteers to help students browse and purchase books on March 21st, 22nd, 25th, 26th, 27th, and 28th from 11:30am-3:00pm. The Book Fair will be set-up in the Library and students will come down with their entire class - - so the more volunteers we have to help, the smoother it will go. If you’d be willing to help out for an afternoon (or partial afternoon) please let us know. We are also extending our hours on Thursday March 21st & Thursday March 28th from 3:00-6:00so that families & community members can browse and shop. We are looking for volunteers to run the fair during these extended hours as well. If you would be willing to help out with the Book Fair, please contact Sherry Brinks at sherrybrinks@gmail.com (825-2021/884-9566) or LeighAnn Sikkema at lasikkema@mcbain.org(825-8041). Thank you for your support!
