A huge thank-you goes out to all of our Accelerated Reader sponsors. The Accelerated Reader program is an individualized reading program that sets goals for students in reading comprehension. The following donated $150 for our T-shirts: Chick-fil-A, The Kennedy Agency, RBC Bank, Baldwin County Orthodontics Specialists, Baby Needs New Shoes and Fastime. Chick-fil-A also sponsored a family dinner night allowing us to raise additional funds. Lenny’s Subs donated free kids’ meal certificates and sponsored our 100-point reading party.  Christopher Donald of DMD Family Dentistry donated $50.

As always, we continue to recycle used laser and inkjet print cartridges, old cell phones, PDAs, iPods, digital cameras, laptops computers, video game systems, and video games. We are able to redeem the equipment for points that can be used to purchase technology equipment and classroom supplies. The items can be dropped off at the school office.

We welcome local businesses that might want to sponsor our school in this recycling effort.

Please contact Blair Heald through the school office if you have any questions.
