Parent Teacher Conferences will be here before we know it!
We are gearing up for Read Across America next week! Here are the Dress Up Days for the Elementary Students.
This week we had a 6th grade student earn a RARE Award for having all 4 RARE characteristics. She has worked hard to earn these this year. We had a 3rd grade student earn a RARE Award for being Respectful. She consistently uses her manners. We also had a 2nd grade student earn a RARE Award for being respectful. He is respectful to adults, and his classmates. He does what he is asked to do quietly, quickly and respectfully. Great job to all of you!
We had an entire 2nd grade class earn RARE Awards due to working hard to score well on the MAPs test. Congrats 2nd grade!

Yesterday, our Fall Semester Honor Roll Students were celebrated with a tasty treat. Students in grades 7 - 12 that received all As and Bs on their semester report cards are eligible for the Honor Roll. Every year the National Honor Society plans some sort of fun activity for these hard-working kids. This year the idea of a fun breakfast was lobbied. The Booster Club answered the call in a really big way: with a beautiful buffet of breakfast burritos, waffles, cinnamon rolls, fruit, and juice. Students were taken downtown to the Community Center where they ate their fill, then played cards and games for a while before returning to their classes.
It turns out that working hard in school can pay off in a really delicious way!

Dear Maverick Families,
Are your bookshelves at home getting a little crowded? Do you have stories you’ve read a dozen times and are ready for something new? The Elementary Student Council has the perfect solution!
We invite all students and parents to participate in our Book Exchange on Tuesday, February 11th.
* When: 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM (During the basketball games)
Where: The Bronco Room
How it works: Bring a book, take a book! This is a wonderful way for our students to refresh their personal libraries and share their favorite stories with friends. Whether you are headed to the gym to cheer on our teams or just swinging by, we’d love to see you there.
Thank you to our Elementary Student Council for organizing this event to promote a love of reading in our school!
Thanks!
