April Reading Goals:April Reading Goals:April Reading Goals:April Reading Goals: All April Reading Logs are due this

Tuesday, May 1st. Please remind

your child that they need to hand in

ALL their Reading Logs for the

month by Tuesday. Their grade on

their Reading Logs will be negatively

affected if they are missing any

Reading Logs for the month.

Tuesday will also be the last day to

take AR quizzes or hand in

completed worksheets for books

that don’t have quizzes so the points

count towards your child’s April

Reading goal! The students will also

receive their new May Reading Log

on Tuesday, May 1st. May will be

the final month for the students to

have a Reading goal, so please

encourage your child to read, read,

read so they

can reach

their final goal

of the year.

Thank you!

at 8:15 am, the Fifth

Grade Panoramic Picture

will be taken in the gym.

In last week’s Thursday

folder, all students

received an order form for

the picture. We strongly

encourage every student to

purchase one of the

pictures. It is a

wonderful memory for

them to have of all the

students they spent their

elementary school years

with at FHR. Extra

pictures are NOT ordered,

so if your child does not

purchase a picture by

Friday, they will be unable

to do so. Thank you!
