Today starts our reading challenge for the month of March at BOTH buildings. The contest is to see which homeroom at each school can read their way across the United States (approximately 2,892 miles {2,892 minutes}). There will be two classrooms who win at each school: one classroom who makes it across the U.S. first and one classroom who reads the most minutes during the month. Each week, your child will be bringing home a reading log. Keep track of the minutes read at home for the week (this week goes from today through Sunday). Return your logs each Monday so we can tally the minutes up. Here's a picture of a map that will show each classrooms' progress. (Thank you to the middle school students who made the maps for each school!) Have fun reading, Mustangs. :)
The Brookwood Girl's volleyball teams are on fire! The A team has won two games and lost only 1 and the B team is undefeated so far this season! The girls are doing an amazing job with communicating on the court, working together as a team, and moving their feet! Our next home game is on Tuesday, March 7th, so come cheer them on!

3/1 Dress like a tourist or like you're on vacation for the Read Across America Challenge. Homeroom teachers across district will get weekly logs for students to track minutes of reading. Each minute of reading counts as one mile as we track our way across the USA. Reading logs will be distributed weekly to homeroom teachers and then collected so minutes/miles will be tallied and you can watch your homeroom's progress across a map that will be displayed at each school. This challenge will start March 1 and go through March 31.

We’ve had so much fun the past month at Saturday Morning Basketball! Our Mustang athletes-in-training have been developing their dribbling and shooting fundamentals through various drills. They’ve also enjoyed their favorites: Red Light Green Light, Sharks & Minnows, and some five-on-five games. These are fun ways to practice ball control, keeping our eyes up when dribbling, and ball protection. Can’t wait for our last session on March 4th!
