In the event that we should move to virtual/remote learning, meals will be available for pickup at the school.  We will send out information about pick-up times if this occurs.

We are thankful to be included in this operative and hope that your child will take advantage of the meals.  To reiterate, after your current balance is paid, you will not receive lunch/breakfast bills for the remainder of this school year as part of a Covid-19 relief program.

Oral Book Report

Hello Sixth Grade! 

I hope you are all well and enjoying your extra time at home. I've been asked about presenting the Oral Book Report, and so I've thought about it and came up with a little option for those who'd like to use it. 

If you would want to video record your Oral Book Report for your research paper and email it to me, you are more than welcome to do so. I'll watch it and respond to you as soon as I can. 

Please note: this is completely optional. No one is required to do this, but if you want to get your oral book report out of the way before we return to school, this is an option. 

If you have any questions, let me know! 

Blessings to all of you, 

Mrs. Eades
