Help Verner’s Library Reach Exemplary Status

Verner Elementary is an exceptional school with a thriving culture of literacy. The Verner Library is essential to our goal of developing life-long learners. An exemplary library consists of a collection with an average age less than ten years old and an average of fifteen books per student. Currently, our collection has an average age of 2001 and we need $75,000 to raise the age of our collection to exemplary level. With matching funds from a supporting organization, we seek to raise $37,500 by May 2020. With your help, we can make this goal a reality. Please consider donating to support the literacy efforts at Verner. The name of every donor of $100 or more will be included in a permanent display in Verner’s library. Please share this link with family and community members.

Verner Clean Up Day

When: Saturday, February 25th from 10-12

We need to get all the sticks and leaves up that fell during the winter months.  We also will need to prune some of the bushes and trees.  It would not hurt to run over the grass if anyone has riding lawn mowers or push lawn mowers with bags.  All ages can help, so bring your kids!!

Items that you could bring include:

Lawn mowers, rakes, brooms, blowers, pitch forks, gloves, pruning sheers, chain saw, pole saw, wheel barrows, trash cans

Please contact Josh Denney at Josh.Denney@cadencebank.com

 

PTA Meeting February 28th at 6:00 pm

Mark your calendar for the next PTA meeting!  The 4th and 5th graders will give a special “Calypso” musical performance.

 

Read Across America Day Celebration: Book Character Parade

All students are invited to participate!  Come to school dressed as any book character and carry a sign telling the character’s name and the title of the book.  The parade will begin at 8:30 or shortly thereafter.  Members of the Northridge Band and our Grand Marshal, the Cat in the Hat will lead the parade.  Parents and younger siblings are welcome to attend.  Parents are also invited to join us for the assembly that will begin in the gym immediately after the parade.  Music will be provided by the 1st and 3rd grade students.
