Awesome Day Today!!

How exciting for us to have an author here at our school. The kids were totally thrilled & intrigued by Bill Merical. He talked about how he got started in writing this book and the fact that he never imagined & dreamed it would get published and have so many copies sold. Just goes to show that you can do anything you put your mind to. It was so great to hear his message in person about being a good person and using good character, and setting goals for yourself. Guess what-he is in the process of writing the second book. He gave the kids a little bit of an idea of how the story of Fallen Rock & Valor will continue, but he did just enough to "hook them". HMMM-isn't that what great authors do? Have a discussion about his visit tonight and let me know what you think by writing a message of your choice in the planner for free money. Enjoy the pics below. Fallen Rock T-shirts are available for purchase. They are $10 and I will be sending order forms home next week if you wish to purchase them. Tomorrow is Hat Day-yes, bring in a $1.00 to wear your hat and your money will go toward our Pack the Place in Pink donations. We raised $105 last week. Awesome-keep it up Bitterroot!! Also, tomorrow is Technology/Electronics Day-bring your iPods, iPads, DS', or whatever you choose as long as it is school appropriate and you are responsible for it. Buy in will be $400. Celebration Day is tomorrow. We took our Math test today to free up some time tomorrow after lunch to celebrate our successes. :)))) We had indoor recess today and the kids did awesome playing board games. So fun to see them use teamwork and play together and it was even electronics!!!!! I know my family still loves playing good, ole fashioned board games. Spelling test tomorrow. Have a great night.
