Attention Families! The Elementary students will go home with registration information today for our Book Blast! Students who send 10 invitations to family and friends win prizes and are automatically entered into a drawing for treasure chests filled with prizes!
Most importantly, students who raise $125 over the next two weeks will receive 10 new books! But the best part? Every single student will go home with at minimum 1 new book. However, we can increase that amount! By using this link: https://tinyurl.com/AnamooseDES58710CommLink you can donate to a community pool, which helps all students, regardless of financial contribution or registration, get even more books!
We love this program because it puts new, age - appropriate books into the hands of every student and 100% of all contributions go towards new books and classroom supplies. If a class gets at least 60% participation, that teacher gets a $100 shopping spree, if a class gets 100% participation their teacher receives a $200 shopping spree from Books are Fun!
If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Bromley or your child's teacher.

Saturday was Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and we can’t say enough about how much we appreciate the folks who get our kids to and from school safely every day.
On Friday, the Elementary students spent their Castle Time making tie blankets and cards as a small way to say thank you for all they do. They even made one for Miss Gilbertson, who not only fills in on buses but also wears so many hats in our school!
We’re so lucky to have such dedicated, caring drivers at Drake & Anamoose Schools—you’re truly the best!🚌🖤🤍🩶
