LEAP activities are happening this month!!!! And remember all LEAP activities are FREE. There is bakeology with Ms. Lukens and Ms. Schroeder every Wednesday and Thursday through March!  Students will be able to make yummy treats while making some fun do it yourself projects!

 

And if you're really into baking and cooking, then you can sign to join Ms. Lobianco and Mrs. Redfern every Monday and Tuesday through December 12 to make some great recipes that are perfect for the teenage life! 

 

Also happening soon, on November 2nd and 3rd, you can come and learn about el Dio de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead. We will learn more about this special day that originates from Mexico and other Latin American countries. Students will make sugar skull luminaries, a decorative banner, and color pages while watching the film Coco. 

If you signed up for VPA, check your school email by Monday of next week for your placement!  It will include the dates and times you will meet for VPA!  If you signed up, but did not receive an email, contact Mrs. Schumacher! 

You can find more great reads at the virtual book fair in the LRC starting next Monday and going all the way through next week!  Remember book fairs in the past when we had fun contests in the library? Well just because the book fair is online this year, that doesn't mean we still can't give away fabulous prizes!  During home base you'll receive a flyer with the fair information as well as a wish list. When the fair opens, go to the website, and look at all the great books. Fill out a wish list for the book fair, take a picture of it and send that picture to one of the librarians. (khannan@dbqschools.org, mschumacher@dbqschools.org, lvogt@dbqschools.org).  We'll put your name in a drawing to win great prizes. Don't forget to give the wish list to your parents!

 

Students:  Check your email for how to sign up for 7th and 8th grade girls basketball and 7th and 8th grade wrestling! PRACTICES start on Monday and you must have a physical packet filled out entirely before participating!

 

Now for some big birthday wishes for Jan Ibarra, Ari Fair, Alexis Westmark, and Khamari Williams who are celebrating on Wednesday and to Elijah Grayson, who will have an amazing birthday on Thursday!
