The A.R. Store Needs Your Help
The students have done a fantastic job again this year in meeting their reading goals and earning points to spend at the A.R. Store.
Students have purchased the following large prizes so far this year:
15 Borders $5.00 gift cards ($75.00)
43 Wal-mart $5.00 gift cards ($215.00)
7 Video Max gift cards ($24.50)
37 students have had pizza with Mr. Lyall
We couldn't have done this with out all the donations we have received to help fill the prize tables at the store this year. We are asking you to make a cash donation to help with the expenses for the last A.R. Store of the year. Even the smallest cash donations help so much. We will use the cash to purchase gift cards and to pay for “Pizza with the Principal." We know from past experience that the last store of the year always brings the most "sales." The older students tend to save points till the end to buy a large prize. The younger students are working hard to earn enough points to have Pizza with the Principal. That, in addition to the challenge to read 400 books in April gives us another reason to anticipate a great turnout of shoppers at our last A.R. Store on May 14th. Donations need to made payable to the St. Pat's A.R. Store and may be dropped off by May 10th in the HSO cubby in the school office, or left with one of our A.R. volunteers.
Thanks so much!

There is a great web site that allows students to listen to a top quality storybook read by a celebrity. This is a lot of fun! The student can choose to have the words running along the bottom of the screen to follow along with the reader. I showed this to my daughter, Claire, and now she begs for more and more stories! There presently are 21 books featured. All of them have AR tests so that kids can listen to a story a couple of times and then come to school and take the AR quiz. I have a list of the titles, reading levels, and AR quiz numbers here on my web page, just look under "documents." The web site is storylineonline.net ----it can be found here under "links." I see this as a fun way for kids to enjoy books while improving reading comprehension.
