    Battle of the Bells

    After the first week of our Battle of the Bells tardy competition, the 6th grade is on par for victory, leading with the lowest number of tardies! Meanwhile, 7th and 8th grade are still working on their way out of the bunker.

     

    There’s plenty of time left to show up on time and claim sweet victory. Keep pushing, Patriots — every second counts! Let’s see which grade will rise and shine to win next week’s round. Keep up the great work and stay on time! Remember, donuts for the entire grade are on the line and the first ever Battle of the Bells trophy as well!

     

    Bunker

    The Bunker is back today! Bring your Patriot Pay to lunch to shop for candy, trinkets, and treasures like speed cubes and playground balls. You can also enter the gift card raffle at the Bunker or in the LC. Don't forget the Bunker today at lunch and again in two weeks!

     

    RC Voting

    Here's your Rebecca Caudill update: 6th grade was not going to be outdone! 6th and 7th grade are now tied for the most votes and the Bulls team has the most votes. Ms. Palubicki's students still have the most votes in so far. The book with the most votes right now is Inheritance Games but Muhammad Najem War Reporter is gaining traction. Keep voting until February 21st!
