OAA is here!!! Reading Test Tuesday!

The OAA has arrived!Tomorrow we will be taking the Reading OAA  and Thursday is the Math OAA.

Please make an effort to have your child at school for breakfast. This will ensure a full belly and that they will be at school in plenty of time for the test. The students who are here for breakfast and on time to take the test will also be entered into a special drawing to throw a pie at Mrs. Maddex. What an awesome principal for offering that as an incentive!

I also instructed the students to be in bed early and get plenty of rest tonight! :-) (You can thank us later...hee hee!)

The students have worked so hard this year. They are all such great students and will do terrific tomorrow! Thanks again for all of your help and support!
