I hope everyone enjoyed President’s Day and had a chance to reflect on the presidents and what they have done to promote the constitution of this country.  

It is another short week, but one packed with learning and fun. 8^th grade graduation pictures will be on Thursday the 21^st and our School Spelling Bee will be on Friday the 22^nd, parents are encouraged and welcome to attend. The spelling bee schedule will be as follows:

-Primary (k-2): 9:15-10:15

-Upper (6-8): 12:10 – 1:20

-Intermediate (3-5): 1:30 – 2:30 

Parents, please remember that we only have 9 school days prior to the students ISAT test. The Board of Education and the State of Illinois place a great deal of emphasis on the students’ performance on this week long test. Please continue to encourage your child to attend school every day, complete all their homework, and attend their after school tutoring classes. We know all our students are very capable of excelling on this test, and with your continued encouragement they will do extremely well. The test will be held during the week of March 4^th thru 7^th.
