Team Mindcrafters Daily Update 9-16-13

Parents,

Students were assigned their novels today.  Students reading There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom or Pictures of Hollis Woods, will not need to have 44% on Friday, as we will be in the middle of those 5 point books.  Students will be assigned pages to read each night for the next two weeks.  This will replace their usual independent nightly reading.  They will still have their typical homework assignment each day.

Reminder about Soulshoppe tonight:

Mr. Savage will be hosting a FREE session for parents in the school gym at 6:00pm Monday evening.  Joseph is a fantastic speaker and always shares wonderful insights that can be used to help us teach our children great ways to get along with one another.  Feel free to bring your  friends.  Students are permitted in the evening, but the evening presentation will be geared to adults.

Have a great night,

Mrs. Dressel and Mr. Pransky
