DREAM BIG - Check out Madrone’s next big thing sponsored by our staff!
To make your BIG dreams come true, you need to BE FIT physically, mentally, and emotionally. Challenge yourself to run 13 miles, read 13 books, and do 13 acts of kindness in 13 weeks!
RUN or WALK! 13 MILES
Try running or walking just a mile or ½ mile at a time.
Always run with a buddy, parent, or adult.
Try running around a track. Find out how many laps equal one mile. The Madrone track is 5 laps equal a mile.
Stretch before and after each run.
Walk and roll to school days! Mar. 6, Apr, 3, May 1
Find a local road race and join in. Create a running club at recess. It’s more fun to run with a lot of people!
READ! 13 BOOKS
For ideas on great books for any age or interest check with Mrs. Stewart, your local librarian, your friends, teachers and parents for book recommendations.
Just learning to read? Have an adult read to you.
Reading chapter books? Every 100 pages counts as 1 book.
REACH OUT! 13 ACTS OF BIG-HEARTED KINDNESS
Start at home! What kind of things can you do for your family today? These should be kind acts above and beyond your normal chores.
Think about your school. Who needs a friend? How can you be helpful to your teacher or principal?
Love animals? Find an animal shelter that needs a helping hand. How can you help your neighborhood or town?




MAKER DAY - TK celebrated their much anticipated Maker’s Day yesterday! Students were encouraged to be creative and use their imagination and problem solving skills to build anything they can dream up! Their excitement was palpable. Some masterpieces were fairy castles, space stations, and a hotel for animals. Many thanks to parents who donated items and of course, to Mrs. Reno for providing this opportunity for our youngest Mustangs!





YEARBOOK PHOTOS NEEDED NOW! - We have just a couple of days before the yearbook club meets for the first time. Coordinators are working hard to categorize all the photos coming in. But guess what?
