Winter "Panther Paw" is here!
We had many creative artists and writers participate in our Winter Panther Paw!
Thank you to the students for bringing their ideas, to the parents who let the students stay after school to participate and to Christopher Smith and his 6th grade leadership team for providing the structure to get it all done!

One Book One School selection
This year we will be reading "Because of Winn-Dixie" by Kate DiCamillo for our One Book One School selection.
This is a heartwarming story about a dog that helps a 10-year-old make friends.
Unfortunately, Scholastic was not able to get the book for us this year. Mrs. O'Neal is requesting copies from the district. This would make a great stocking stuffer or a family activity over Winter Break.
We hope that you will enjoy reading! Stay tuned for additional information for our OBOS week, January 23-26.
