Matt with a very nice oak dining table that he built with mirrored grain pattern on the ends of the table. It turned out really cool. As you can see he has his security detail helping him load up this priceless piece of furniture. Good job, Matt!
Get comfy, wear your pajamas, and read! Reading was a little different today in Mrs. Baker's MTSS group as students used finger lights to light up the book they read.

Today we recognized these teachers during our grit awards. During this school year these teachers have worked very hard completing Part 1 to LETRS training. LETRS is a professional learning course for instructors of reading, spelling, and related language skills. It provides educators with in-depth knowledge and tools that they can use with any reading program. This training required many hours outside of school watching videos, reading, and applying new skills in the classroom. They also attended four days of training. Thank you Misty Baker, Raechel Bruna, Emma Tryon, Jill Keesecker, Sonja Frager, Andrea Walter, Steve Wright, Emily Lucas, Noreen Rundle, Nicole Goeckel, Staci Peters, Tricia Gauby, Kate Hedke, Tawni Myers, Kim Miller, and Brandy McCubbin for all your hard work on this great accomplishment!

You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose!" -Dr. Seuss
Shelby with a quality built modern-style "sawhorse" desk made out of oak. She worked hard getting this done before spring break. This will be a great piece of furniture to use right now or take with her when she graduates. Good job, Shelby!
