AR Store Donations Needed (Accelerated Reading Incentive Program) - Our students have been reading and earning AR points in anticipation of the next AR store, open on May 28th. Your help with the AR store in the fall was greatly appreciated. We are again asking for donations for the spring AR store. Specifically, our students really liked the $5 gift cards. They could be to anywhere - Wal-mart, Subway, Starbucks, Chick-fil-a, Sonic, McDonald's! Other items that are very popular are movie style box candy and summer water toys (no water guns please). Thank you in advance for your support of this program. The children really get excited about earning points for their reading and then going shopping with those points.
