This week's #PrestonCountyReads focus. Each week, we'll be posting different tips to improve your child's reading. Be sure to include the hashtag on any posts, images or videos you'd like to share of your student working on their skills. Remember, numerous studies have defined that 15-30 minutes of reading a day will help your child improve their literacy, and even for adults will support brain health for a lifetime.
Bruceton School's 5th Grade will be selling mums again this year. Stop by the school parking lot from 8am-12pm on September 7th. You do not need to buy through a student or pre-order. Just swing through and our students will load you up! First come, first served. Mums are $10 and in 12" pots. Checks or cash only. They are grown in Terra Alta and are the most beautiful mums around!
Our trial with PikMyKid has ended and we have decided to discontinue its use. Information on parent pick-up car cards, like in previous years, will be coming soon.
