If you are interested in earning one FREE ticket to the Six Flags park in Arlington, TX for the 2019 summer season then listen up! Our school is enrolled in the Read to Succeed program. Below you will find the parent letters and student logs for you to download and print. All you have to do is read six hours for pleasure, outside of school assignments, and log those hours on the student reading log. Once you complete the reading log with your parent initials send a copy to your reading teacher by email or text a photo. Sometime in May you will receive an email with your FREE ticket to Six Flags. The deadline to turn in your reading logs to your ELA teacher is February 15th.

The action book club has begun, but it's not too late to join. See the information below and prepare for the December meeting.

Congratulations, Mrs. Karl!
