READ-READ-READ!!!!

As most of you know, the Read-A-Thon is in full swing and Team Hankins is doing great!!!  We want to keep it up so we can be the winners of the "Secret Party".  Students who don't participate in the reading will not be eligible for the party.  They will have an alternative classroom placement during that time.  Right now, Team Hankins has a total of 3,246 min. We have also earned 2 of the video clues!!! Keep up the great work!!!!

Read-A-Thon theme days next week:  Monday-"Sweat it out with a good book"-wear sweats.  Tuesday-"Get a kick out of reading"-wear Western clothing.  Wednesday-"Knock your socks off with a good book"-wear crazy socks.  Thursday-"Hide in a good book"-wear camo.  Friday-"Get your paws on a good book"-wear Bobcat colors.
Great job to Tommy and the Honor Choir as they came to Bitterroot School on Thursday to perform.  They sounded AWESOME!!!!  The girls get their turn on Friday, March 4th.
Once again I want to compliment the kids on the biography projects.  Lots of compliments from those who walk by to read them.
Speaking of reading-I would like to see the students get on the Reading Plus computer program at least 3-4 times/week for 30 min.  Also, do Wowzers the other nights of the week. Doing extra at home instead of video games will pay off with the progress your child will make in their studies.
We are proud of Faith,  our Purple Hand Cookie winner for the month of February.  She was nominated & voted on by her peers for her kind, caring, helpful demeanor.  Good Job, Faith.
No student of the week share this week.
