College Signing Day

We had fun yesterday as we celebrated with the Senior Class of Harding Academy as they
prepare to go off to college! It was a great day as we watched them parade down the hall, and
we got to share their pride in their accomplishments! We also learned a lot in class as we
discussed the importance of college and shared many good questions and answers about
college. Your children expressed all the things that they wonder about college. This would be a
great topic for you to continue with your child at home.

Memory Verse Test Thanks To All Accelerated Reader

We will have a memory verse
test on Friday of next week.
The new memory verse is
being sent home today in your
child’s folder. We will not
have anymore spelling tests
this year.
Mystery Readers
I would like to thank all of you
who volunteered to read to us
as “Mystery Readers” at any
time during this school year.
We have loved your visits, and
you have helped us make
special memories. You have
also given us another reason to
love reading! Thanks so much!
The last day to take tests for
Accelerated Reader will be
Wednesday, May 15. An
updated list of the books
that your child has tested
on this semester is being
sent home today.
