Some very special Dye 3^rd, 4^th & 5^th graders attended Dye’s Annual Read-A-Thon on Saturday, March 15^th to help support the RIF program.  Students collected $200.00 to purchase books for the school.  Makiah collected the most pledges and received the grand prize, a 5lb Hershey’s candy bar.  Thank you Makiah and all the students!

Dye families explored the skeletal system at the Title I Family Science Night on March 27.  Scientist Cheryl Cross shared her bone collection and demonstrated how many bones work in human bodies. Students used the information they learned in the presentation to complete games, puzzles, and sticker activities with their parents. Every Dye student was able to choose a FREE book and enjoy “bone” cookies at the end of the evening!

Dye’s students were honored during our second marking period awards assembly. Mrs. Fields and Mrs. Cox had the privilege to present many of our students with different awards. The students received awards for All A’s honor roll, A-B honor roll, perfect attendance, Citizenship, Home Links and Study Links. Congratulations to everyone. You did a great job.

Dye Elementary hosted a Title I Open House during parent teacher conferences. Title I staff chatted with families about our lunch programs, DRA levels, interventions, and future planning. Over 100 families were able to participate and take home free books!

Second graders in Mrs. McDunnah’s class are participating in Project PLACE this year for social studies.  Our first unit focused on economics.  For the final project the students had to produce a good they could sell at school.  We surveyed 3^rd-5^th grades and the majority of the students voted for trail mix.  We set an assembly line up in our classroom and produced 200 bags.  We sold the bags for 50 cents.  Overall we raised $100.  The class decided to donate earnings to the Food Bank.  The students learned a lot and had fun at the same time!

Dye’s students have been studying!  Our students spelt word after word correctly during our annual 4^th and 5^th grade spelling bee.  We would like to congratulate all students who participated .

Please help support our program and put your used newspapers, magazines and school papers into our paper retriever outside in our parking lot. We have a 5th grade club that helps with this effort, it also helps the students understand  the benefits of recycling.

Our school earns money on this paper that can be used for textbooks, sports equipment, field trips, and other projects. So please remember to recycle your paper at our school.
