March is almost here!

I am excited to be back to school! This morning has been great. The weather is just barely "warm" enough for us to go outside at recess. But, it doesn't look like the warm weather from the weekend is going to continue throughout this week.
There aren't any exciting events going on at school this week, but next week is "Read Across America" week. This is the National Education Association's (NEA) national reading celebration that takes place each year on or near March 2, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. Across the country, thousands of schools, libraries, and community centers participate by bringing together kids, teens, and books.
Bernie schools will be celebrating Read Across America week (March 1-March 5) with several events:
Monday- Pajama Day- Relax and Read day
Tuesday- Red and White Day- Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss
Wednesday- Hat Day- Hats off to Readers
Thursday- Sunglasses Day- Readers' futures are so bright they have to wear shades.
Friday- Blue and White Day- Bernie Mules love to Read!!!!
Friday afternoon magician Marty Hahne will be here to perform for our students. His show is based around reading and the summer reading program.
