           Spring Joy!     

Hi All, 

I hope that this sunshine and weather was as much as gift to you as it was to me this weekend. Last week was a doozy with the full moon, time change and weather changes. I'm hoping that we'll reach cruising altitude this week. Please remember to focus on your connections, practice routines and slow down if you need to. 

News and Announcements 

Take a peek at last week's iReady Usage----numbers are looking better and better!  

• District Writing Prompt---This prompt needs to be completed by 3.25. We will score the prompts on the 26th and then complete the district grade alike time to set benchmarks on the 2nd of April. 
• I have enjoyed all the photos and I think having the pictures/poems/etc. in one document will be much easier on our email inboxes. If you are going to add something to the Berlin Bingo board please do so in the linked document. 
• Staff Community Bobcat---Please remember to recognize your fellow staff members.
• I am looking for permanent coverage for Lunch Duty on Friday. If you are interested you will be paid extra for your additional duty. Please let me or Lori know if you are interested.  
• Each week we will pull a staff name and you will have the chance to win a $10 giftcard.
