🍋📚 Calling all families and community members! Get ready for a Lemonade War! 🍋📚
Students in Mrs. Fox's 3rd grade reading classes are currently immersed in 'The Lemonade War' and are gearing up for an exciting project inspired by the book by Jaqueline Davies. They will embark on their own lemonade stand challenge, divided into groups, to compete against their classmates and determine who can sell the most lemonade.
Join us for a fun-filled afternoon where our young entrepreneurs will showcase their business savvy and creativity. Watch as they bring their lemonade stands to life, learning valuable lessons in teamwork, budgeting, and marketing along the way.
Let's support our 3rd graders as they compete in their very own Lemonade War.
Spread the word and mark your calendars! We can't wait to see you there! 🍋💼

📢 Attention Students and Parents! 📢 The West Virginia Summative Assessment is approaching fast, scheduled from May 6th-8th for grades 3rd-5th. It's an exciting opportunity for our students to showcase their skills and knowledge! 🌟📚
To ensure our students perform their best, we encourage the following:
💤🛌Get a good night's sleep: Rest is crucial for focus and concentration. Aim for 8 hours of quality sleep each night leading up to the assessment.

⏰Be to school on time: Arriving punctually ensures a smooth start to the assessment. Plan your morning routine accordingly to avoid any rush.
Parents, your support in helping students adhere to these guidelines is greatly appreciated. Let's set our students up for success together! #GoGilmer
