TSSP –
- Reading inventory Read 180 class was the blue, and there was more growth. With our school the only difference was MLs. The read 180 really is showing a lot of adjustment. Parents can request the 180 class, but most of the students that go into that class are recommended by the teachers.
- It was inquired about how used books could be used and donated. The library will take any of the donated books

We are doing a great job here, and compared to other schools we have all these programs to make things work. There are so many needs unseen, so let counselors know so meals, needs can be provided. Referrals are getting in. A clothing drive would be helpful.

Money for Giving for good is going to go for Sub for Santa for our community. Applications have been sent out to by teachers, counselors and staff. Staff goes and does the shopping for Sub for Santa and the wrapping is done at the school.
