Greetings Parents and Guardians!
We are looking forward to welcoming our students back this week.
I hope the break from school allowed you a little extra family time, and that you could enjoy the warming temps, sunshine, and snow! February can offer some of the best days of winter.
And February can also pack a punch. As I write this, the forecast is calling for a pretty snowy week. Let's hope the March lion is a week early because next week we have our Family Reading Night on Thursday, March 5! We will be in touch later this week with more details about Family Reading Night, along with information about Parent-teacher conferences on the 12th.
In the meantime, the Read-a-thon is still going on. See the details below.
Before you go, please check out the Bobcat Sightings video below. It features the smashingly successful first-ever Marcia Buker Winter Carnival, which students enjoyed on February 12. Congratulations and thank you to Counselor Cindy Edson, to the 5th grade Leadership Team, to the many parents who donated time and items, and to the staff volunteers who all came together to make a memorable afternoon of fun!
In partnership with you,
Principal Bobcat

PTG Read-a-Thon
The PTG’s annual Read-a-Thon fundraiser is well underway and will run through March 4th. During this time we encourage families to support their bobcats with reading time at home and assisting them with logging this time into the fundraiser platform. See the details below!
To up the ante this year, the PTG has partnered with local businesses to bring rewards to the highest reader in each grade. At Family Reading Night on March 5th, the student in each grade who has logged the most reading time will receive an award, including a $20 gift card to Barnes & Noble!
Thank you so much to our families and community for supporting this initiative, with a special thank you to: Carver Carpentry, Homestead Homes, Moose Mountain, K&G Hardware, MTN Sports & Fitness and Gary’s Quick Stop for their donations!
