PENNIES FOR THE PROTECTORS
All school children in the area have been asked to collect donations for the Fire and Police Memorial to be built in West Side Park in Champaign. We feel that this is a worthwhile community-based service project. Please bring your donations to school and drop them in the large “Pennies for the Protectors” container in the school office.

Cindy Schilling, school office secretary, volunteered to read to our first and second grade classes last week. Not only did Cindy read a really funny book with a good lesson, but she also donated the book to our library! Very classy Cindy!
I would also like to thank Mei Lien and Kai Li C., Jamie E. and Lilly and Lisa W. for generous book donations. We will have many great new books to start our next school year with!
Keep Reading!
