week! Atta celebrated her birthday on
Monday, and John and Luke are celebrating their birthdays on Saturday! Happy
Birthday, Atta, John, and Luke!
*March is National Nutrition
Month. Mrs. Fought came in and taught
our class about nutrition and eating healthy snacks. It was a wonderful lesson that the students
really enjoyed. Thanks, Mrs.
Fought!
*Encourage your child to
continue to read and take Reading Counts tests while at school! Our reading competition continues until March

third nine weeks grading period. Report

*We will be taking SRI again
on Monday, March 17th from 9:00 – 9:30 a.m. If you are interested in volunteering and
listening to a child read his / her test aloud (you cannot help with any words
or answers) please let me know! I will
print reports and send them home later next week. This test will assign a lexile to your
child’s reading comprehension. A second
grader should have a lexile between 300 – 600.
*Each of us has been
touched by cancer in some way. Honor someone fighting cancer or remember someone who has
lost that fight next week. Student Council will be selling paper shamrocks for
a $1.00 donation to Relay for Life. Shamrocks can be personalized and they will
be displayed on the windows of the DT media center.

will be Riley Sunglasses Day. If your
child donates $1, he / she will be allowed to wear sunglasses to school.

talent that he/she wants to showcase at our annual “Delaware Trail, You’ve Got
Talent” show on Thursday, May 15th?
If so, have your child ask me for an audition form. Forms are due by Friday, March 21st. The talent show is one of the ways that we
raise funds for Relay for Life. It is
always a fun-filled evening so mark your calendar and come support our amazing
students and their talents!

Hall Green. I will be doing Relay for
Life this year in honor of all of my family members that have fought cancer,
but especially in memory of my father that lost his battle to pancreatic cancer
in January of 2012. This is a family
friendly event so join our team! It's

difference! You can join our team by
