Last week we ended Read Across America Week with a final guest reader - Mrs. Shaver as Cat in the Hat. Students also worked really hard to meet their reading goals for the week in our competition. It was fun for all!

Volleyball Weekly Update:
Good luck to both teams in their regional tournament. 7th grade regional starts on Monday at Decatur Unity. They play WLB at 6:00.

8th grade regional will start March 7th. The host school for that is Greenview. 8th grade will play Springfield Our Savior 20 minutes after the first game (first game starts at 10:00). I have attached the full 8th grade regional bracket.

Since practices are really dependent on the outcome of the regional games, Coach Ciaccio will communicate practice times on the Group Me app going forward. Good luck, girls and Go Crusaders!
