Ms. Jess recently applied for and received a grant through the Cortney Nowak Foundation. The foundation is committed to supporting local school districts in Clinton and Eaton Counties by providing funding for literacy-focused initiatives and programs.

This grant will support our school’s March Is Reading Month activities. With the funds, Ms. Jess will be able to purchase books as incentives for students who log the highest number of reading minutes throughout the month. In addition, prizes will be available for all students who participate in the reading program.

We are grateful to the Cortney Nowak Foundation for supporting literacy and helping encourage our students to develop a love of reading.

The Scholastic Book Fair will be held March 9th–March 13th. Students will have the opportunity to shop with their classes during the school day.
