WEEK OF APRIL 23


Bookworm Angels Book Drive
It's time for a little spring cleaning! Clear out those new or gently used books that your child has already read or out-grown! Your child brought home a flyer about the Bookworm Angels Book Drive at Prairieview from Monday, April 23 to Friday, May 4. Please consider donating to this worthy cause. The grade level that brings in the most books earns a "deluxe popsicle" reward!


Subject Update:
  • Spelling - The Lesson 29 pretest will be on Monday. Homework will be assigned during the week to practice the words. Both regular and challenge word tests are on Friday.
