March 11th-15th

Team Urban,

Students have been putting forth the effort this past week with ELA IAB Benchmarks. I am seeing so much growth academically, but also mentally. Many are persevering and it is showing in their test scores! Also, the class set a goal to get 4.6 as a cumulative goal for the STAR reading test.  If they meet the goal, they will receive donuts for the class. They not only met the goal but exceeded it with a 4.8!! Go Team Urban!!  Great job reading this last trimester!! Keep it up!!

Thank you so much for sending the emails to get the free book buddy.  By doing so, our class has received over $600 in gift cards to the School Store website.  Thank you so much for your generosity.  I have already purchased two swivel stools for the classroom, several books requested by the students, and crafts for the end of the year.

Week of March 18th-Conference Week Our class will be having our classroom open on Wednesday, March 20th from 1:45 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. for student-led conferences. Come by and see your child present their progress to you!

Team Urban,

Book Buddies have been delivered but School Store underestimated our school spirit.  They had to order more and they will be delivered this week to students who have yet to receive them.  

Thank you so much for sending out the emails to get the free book buddy.  By doing so, our class has received around $400 in gift cards to the School Store website.  Thank you so much for your generosity.  I have already purchased two swivel stools for the classroom.

Feb. 26th-March 1st

 Team Urban,

I hope this message finds you well.

I'm excited to share some news with you all. Under the guidance of Admin, we've decided to kick off a fundraiser that we believe will greatly benefit our campuses and our teachers!


This fundraiser isn't just any ordinary one—it's a simple yet incredibly impactful initiative that not only supports us as staff but also contributes to the betterment of our school as a whole. We've done our homework and looked into schools that have implemented similar programs in our area, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

One nearby school saw an impressive $17,000 go directly back to their teachers!


Here's how it works:

Students and staff can visit Schoolstore.com and easily locate our school. Once selected, they'll be taken to a page featuring various categories and merchants. By making purchases from these merchants—like Kohl's, Macy's, Sam's Club, Disney Store, Verizon, Best Buy, AT&T, and many more—a percentage of the sales will directly benefit our school.


The Class with the most sign-ups by Friday, March 1st, will receive cookies from CookieCo! 


Thank you all for your support and participation. Your dedication is truly appreciated!
