Junior Achievement
The students received a certificate of completion and special treat from Mr. Blocker during our last session of Junior Achievement. The students also presented Mr. Blocker with a card and gift as a token of appreciation for all of his hard work. Hopefully, students will use some of the concepts taught during Junior Achievement as they prepare for our upcoming trade fair!
Parent/Teacher Conference Schedule
I sent out an email to homeroom parents with the schedule for Parent/Teacher Conferences. Thank you to those parents who have already confirmed their date/time. If you have not replied to my email yet, please do so as soon as possible. I have a few parents who need to reschedule, and I cannot do that until I know if there are slots available.
Paper Recycling
Did you know that you can help our district earn money by recycling paper here at school? You can bring in any paper (no cardboard, please) to the green and yellow bin marked Paper Retriever located in Lakeview's parking lot to be recycled. The more paper we collect, the more money we can earn. The provider of the bin uses the paper to make newsprint, which is then sold to other companies. That is how we are paid to recycle paper.
