YES WE CAN!Beginning March 3 March 28, our entire school will participate in March Reading

Month. Our goal will be 40,000 pages.

During the month, classes will be asked to submit a short persuasive essay, to Mrs.

Stager, explaining what she should do if the school meets our goal of 40,000 pages.

Mrs. Stager will review all essays submitted, and the class and/or individual who

submits the most convincing essay will win. Of course, the subject must remain

practical. Mrs. Stager will not jump out of an airplane!

Your homeroom teacher will instruct you on when you should begin your short essay,

however, all are due by Friday, March 28.

Are you up for the challenge, Mrs. Stager?
