Principal’s Report
- Reading Month will start in March; Families will be able to purchase a book that the whole school will read together.

Some teachers are reading aloud, but a weekly schedule of chapters will be sent out for students to read at home.

- A Kevin Kilstoffe Memorial Scholarship fund has been set up for donations.. It will be an annual scholarship. They will give out one for $500 this year and number of scholarships for following years will be determined upon the amount of funds at the time. Erin inquired if PAC would be interested in donating toward the scholarship fund. We agreed/approved on $100 donation for this first year. Donations are being collected at school in March.
