Supporting Reading at Home

The MNPS Literacy Department invites you to watch this 13-minute video about how to support reading at home.

Mr. C's Football Reading Challenge

There's still time to complete your Mr. C's Reading Challenge! Your panther can log any independent reading done from October 19-December 7th on Beanstack to earn virtual badges and help our school win a cookie party from Tiff's Treats. Once they have logged 180 minutes, they will have completed the challenge! In addition, Ms. Calverley is holding a drawing from all "finishers" every week to win a free book or poster. Find the Beanstack app in Clever to log your minutes. Here's a video if you need help!

Save the Date: Nicky's $10 Pizza Night, December 3

Nicky's Coal Fired has graciously offered to sponsor a $10 pizza night for all Sylvan Park families, teachers, and staff on Thursday, December 3rd. We'll provide you with a carryout link that you can use to order takeout and in turn, Nicky's will donate 20% of food sales purchased through the link back to our school. So mark your calendars and be sure to support our generous sponsor.
