Country Store Update: There was an overwhelming outpour of support on Facebook after our update of the Country Store last week. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We look forward to this next chapter and keeping the tradition alive!

3^rd & 4^th Grade Testing: Spring is here! As well as state testing! 3^rd and 4^th grade will be testing on April 4^th and 9^th for reading, and again on April 11^th and 16^th for math. Please help your child be successful by making sure they get a good night’s rest, eat a well-balanced breakfast, and be on time to school. Mr. Sturgeon will be providing a free breakfast to these grades on Wednesday, April 3^rd. (Please note, April 3^rd is NOT a test day. This is just a fun kickoff to get everybody in the Tiger spirit.)

Note from Mrs. Bevitt: Thank you to everyone who placed an order with Art to Remember which supports our art program. We met our goal of 25% participation and will receive $1,132 to help purchase art products for the K-4 art program. Products will arrive at the school on approximately April 11 and will be sent home with your student. If you still want to place an order, products must be shipped directly to you and must be ordered by April 26. If you have any questions, please let me know at Cassy.Bevitt@usd340.org THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR ART PROGRAM! ---Mrs. Bevitt

Solar Eclipse Observation: On April 8^th, we will be observing the solar eclipse with all students. We have purchased glasses for each student that are CE and ISO certified and safe for viewing the sun. If you would NOT like your child to participate, please call the school or your student’s teacher to opt out. Again, they will be viewing the eclipse with the school unless we are told otherwise. We appreciate your assistance!
