Today's reward day was great fun!  Readers earned water play time and everyone got to go out for a special conduct reward picnic and play time.

Don't forget that CPA "dress rehearsals" are Wednesday.  Please bring your posters and note cards (props optional).  You will be able to leave your posters at school IF you don't need to make any changes to them.  Speech note cards should go home for practice until 10/29, our CPA day for the judges.

Have a great weekend!  Have you finished a book yet for this nine weeks?  Read on!
