Singing Valentine orders due Friday Feb 7th!
Altamont Grade School will be participating with the Illinois Masonic Lodge and their Bikes for Books Program. This program helps to promote academic success through a positive reading program in public grade schools.
Each time a student reads a book, their name will go into a drawing towards winning a bike and a helmet. If your child reads a book at home, send a note or message to their teacher, and we will get a ticket filled out.
The drawing for the bike will be in April. Thank you for your participation! 🚲📚
Mrs. Barnick’s class read with flashlights today to kick off book fair week! We celebrated 100th day of school on Thursday too.
The first graders completed their 100th day of school service project by making 100 door decorations for the residents at the Lutheran Care Center. We hope the residents enjoy them as much as we did making them!
