Good evening Blue Jay families. At 9:00 on Thursday morning, our Blue Jay Kindergarten Students will have a special event with the WLHS Seniors at the WLHS Stadium. We ask that all Kindergarten students wear red for this event. Parents are welcome to attend but will not be able to enter the building. They will need to go straight to the stadium. Parents will not be allowed to walk in with students or follow buses to the Stadium. They will be able to sit and watch the event. Kindergarten classes will ride the buses from North Brook to and from the event to be able to participate so that we will be able to line them up appropriately. Thank you.

Don't forget the book fair starts today!

The fast pass winners were Livie Nale in K, EmmitTuckey in 1st, Preslee Jenkins in 2nd, Rachel Hildebran in 3rd, Sophie Beam in 4th, and Jace Hudson and Ezra Lyndon in 5th. Tomorrow is Peace Day...peace out to bullying.
