Riddle of the Week

Every dawn begins with me

At dusk I’ll be the first you see

And daybreak couldn’t come without

What midday centers all about

Daises grow from me, I’m told

And when I come, I end all cold

But in the sun I won’t be found

Yet still, each day I’ll be around

Bring the solution to the riddle in to Mr. Howe 

by Friday for extra credit

Autism Awareness Month 

A group of students in class has been working on an enrichment project to develop activities in honor of Autism Awareness Month.  As part of their work, they created a bulletin board in the front display case at school and have been making and selling beautiful puzzle piece ribbons.  All of their proceeds are being donated to Autism Speaks, and they have raised close to $100 already!  

If you would like to buy a ribbon (they are $2), please send in your donation, and we will send home your ribbon.

A huge thank you to Kristen Wark who has done a lot to help the group put together their project.
