            Next week is Right to Read Week.  Students will be showing their love of reading by participating in spirit days.  I have attached the flyer.     Also, a reminder to call (419-752-0011) and schedule your parent-teacher conference.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Thanks for all you do!
