Dear Eagles,
Published author Chad Morris will be visiting our school Thursday to talk with our 3rd-5th graders about writing. This fits well with our literacy focus this month. The fire department visited our 2nd graders today to teach them about fire safety and will visit our kindergartners next week. We appreciate these visitors coming to support our students!
Honeydukes
To help bring fun and excitement to our Literacy Month, the “Honeydukes store” will be open for business this Thursday again.
Students can visit the store after they eat lunch. They can bring money to purchase individually packaged chocolate frogs, butterbeer, and pre-bagged packages of mixed candy bags with a Harry Potter theme.
PTA
Honeydukes
Honeydukes will be visiting our school during lunchtime THIS THURSDAY March 12, and at Literacy Night on Tuesday March 17th, located in the hallway of the Soarin’ room behind the gym.
Students can buy:
Butterbeer-$2
Chocolate Frogs-$3
Assorted Candy (Bertie Bots, Fizzing Whizbees, Dementor’s Kisses, Lemondrops)-$1.50
It will be on sale for Kinder students at 10:45 am.
*Proceeds cover costs of Scales & Tales at Literacy Night.
LITERACY NIGHT
We still need your help filling all the positions for Literacy Night. Please follow the links to see how you (or your teenager–*think “Service Hours”) can help. Also, if you are wondering how your child can complete literacy activities at home to earn points for their team, there are many links on the PTA website to help you.
Thanks!

Canyons District’s informational maturation program for fifth-grade students and their parents is this month. Presentations will be conducted by a professional speaker. All parents are encouraged to attend these free events with their children, and to choose which date best fit their schedules, so that they can continue the discussion in their homes.
