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!

Good Morning Elementary Families,
I am writing to share an update regarding our scheduled bake sale. To ensure we aren't competing for "sweet tooth" real estate, we have decided to cancel the Elementary Bake Sale scheduled for Tuesday, February 10th.
The 10th-grade class will be hosting a bake sale at the concession stand that same evening. We want to make sure they have a successful fundraiser, and we encourage you to stop by the stand to grab a treat and support our high schoolers!
Please know that we are still fully committed to raising funds for our Attendance Prizes. We are currently looking at the calendar to find a new date that allows the elementary bake sale to be the "star of the show." We will notify you as soon as a new date is finalized.
Thank you all for your incredible willingness to bake, donate, and support our students. We truly appreciate your flexibility!
Thank You!
Mrs. Isom
Elementary Principal

We had another student earn all 4 of her RARE Awards. She earned for being patient and helpful with the classmates. She is doing awesome.
We had four students who earned RARE Awards this week. The first is a kindergartner who is Accountable by reading his AR book and bringing it back to school to test. The second one is a second grade student who helped clean up messes at lunch for several other students. He was kind and helpful to his peers and younger students. He had Empathy for the other students. The next student is a third grade student who offered to clean up after concessions at the game. He was Empathetic. The last is a fifth grade student who earned a RARE Award for Respect. He was honest with his teacher.
