The New and Improved
Homework and Reading Club
The Character Trait for the month of March is:
COOPERATION
April 2013
Hello Parents and Students! As you know the student
executive members have arranged a Homework and Reading
Club. Homework and Reading club is located in the library
and it is at lunch recess on Monday. Students have a choice
of Reading or doing their Homework. The Homework and
Reading club is where students can pick out a book and read
it quietly or your child can bring their unfinished homework
and work on it quietly. This helps them build their vocabulary
and expand their knowledge. Now the homework and reading
club is new and improved. Now it is held on Friday’s and
instead of 4 executive members helping out there are two. We
will inform you if there are any changes.
