Wow! What a beautiful three-day weekend! I hope everyone had a nice one! Amanda Connors, thank you VERY much for organizing the fabulous Valentine's Day party. Thank you to all parents for volunteering your time and tasty snacks! We had a great time.

We have a busy next couple of weeks so please check out below the important dates and events.

Tuesday, 2/17: Student Council Speeches and Spring Election begin at 8:45AM. Mountain School is lucky enough to have a new Student Council Staff Member in charge: Shauna Sutton!

Wednesday, 2/18: Young Writer's Project continues. Our class has really enjoyed the feedback and assistance received by the wonderful volunteers. The writing that is being produced in our classroom is absolutely amazing! Everyone is looking forward to the final product and what we'll be learning along the way.

Friday, 2/20: "Dress Like Your Favorite Book Character" Day. As the Read-a-thon comes to a close, please help your child choose a literary character to come dressed as on Friday. We will also celebrate with popsicles. Hopefully, your child has been gathering sponsors and reading on a daily basis.
