Friday is St. Patrick’s Day! Students are encouraged to wear something green – if not, that is ok…no pinching is allowed! Benchmark testing is here! Students do not need the “luck of the Irish” though because they have been working hard to prepare! Teachers have been finishing up the standards, reviewing and going over test-taking strategies! 
Report cards will go home on Thursday, March 16.
