3rd Grade Eagle Buck Store

Eagle Bucks are given to students throughout the year as positive reinforcements when students are taking initiatives to meet their goals in 3rd grade. Third grade teachers have a system where at the end of each quarter students can redeem their bucks for prizes and privileges at the 3rd grade Eagle Buck store. While we do supply numerous items, your generous contributions make this store possible! If you would like to contribute, please click HERE and thank you in advance for making this special for our students!

Birthdays & Unbirthdays

We want to celebrate all students' birthdays throughout the year. However, we know some might have birthdays that fall on holidays or happen over the summer. This is why we will also be celebrating "unbirthdays" so everyone can have a special day. In order to ensure parents know what day is available, we have a birthday calendar that shows everyone's celebration dates. Please refer to the calendar and select a date that you would like to use to celebrate your child. Parents are allowed to bring sweet treats to lunch on the designated date (lunch is from 11:05-11:35).
