On to the Green Books!

We are half way done with our Language! series this year. Students are very excited to trade in their orange books for a new green one. Next week we will be starting Unit 19 in the green books, and the theme is "Go with Speed." We will be reading about speed sports in the Olympics, fiber optic highways, and fast-food. We look forward to our new adventures!

Important Days:
Tuesday- Early Dismissal, School Improvement Day
Friday- End of Second Trimester and PBIS Assembly

Pack the Place

Pack the Place was on Monday and Tuesday of this week. The leadership team set up activities for the pre-game show and sold raffles for pieing the teachers. On Monday Ms. Schwenkel, Ms. Cerney, Mrs. Mixon, and Mr. Windsor were pied, and the girls' basketball team won their game that night. Then on Tuesday Ms. Enzbigilis, Mr. Little, Dr. Tiede, and I were pied in the face before the boys' basketball game. It was a special game because it was Mr. Dodd's last Pack the Place. After 38 years of teaching at Center Cass School District, Mr. Dodd will be retiring. His family, friends, and past students attended the game, and he was given a framed jersey at half-time. Overall it was a terrific event!
