3rd Grade Week of October 15 - 19

 What a fantastic Paws on the Path Assembly today! The kids had a great time! We are so lucky at E.P. Clarke to have such wonderful families that donate time and money to make our school great. Amazingly, our school earned a whopping $34,500!!!! Thank you to all of you! The kids felt a real sense of pride and accomplishment at the assembly.                          

      As was mentioned in Mrs. Allen's email, we are still looking for a few students to participate in the Character Counts programs that the Boys and Girls Club is offering AT E.P. Clarke. It will be 4 - 6 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The start date has been pushed back to try to get more participation. A $20 registration fee for the Boys and Girls Club is required, but everything else is free. Please let your child's teacher know if you want to join!

Itslearning is still our primary source for classroom resources. This includes important websites, daily homework, word study lists, and any other classroom handouts. Our daily homework will continue to be located on our home page (and in their planner).
