Reveur Spirit Week

Attention House Parents! We are excited to announce our 1st House Spirit Week of the School Year. We begin with the Reveur House "Our Blue House." Please refer to the graphic below for information about this upcoming spirit week October 26th-30th.

Word of the Week 

As mentioned in last week’s newsletter, we are Leveling Up our literacy skills with our Word of the Week challenge! Each week, students have the opportunity to find the word’s definition, identify a synonym (a related word), and use the word correctly in a sentence. Students who complete all three tasks earn a prize!

Congratulations to last week’s winners: Hedgar, Evelyn H, Evelyn C, Reese, Carolina, Righteous, Scarlett, Leah, Karen, Allison, Zaynah, Tanayja, Adrian, Amia, Aariana, Aariene, Cora S, Abraham, Jose, Genesis, Melissa, Haly, and Taraji!

 We look forward to seeing even more students participate in this week’s challenge. Keep learning, keep growing, and keep Leveling Up your vocabulary!
