Congratulations to those students who earned their certificate for passing the AR Reading Challenge. This was a first-semester reading challenge to all students in 2nd-5th grades. They needed to earn 25 points for 2nd/3rd graders and 35 points for 4th/5th graders before winter break to qualify. These students will have grade-level group pictures in the yearbook!

Mr. Pinnock was named Principal of the Year by the Northeast Learning Community. And Mr. Gauthia was named Professional of the Year.

Area Superintendent Cliff Jones was able to surprise Mr. Pinnock at a staff meeting after school where he thought only Mr. Gauthia would be celebrated. Thank you both for your dedication to our students, school, and RE community!
