May I have your attention please for the daily announcements. This is Dragr Monson.
Good morning, today is Thursday, February 16, 2012.
LeVar Burton has a birthday today. He is an actor who has starred on several television series. He was on the award winning mini-series Roots, Star Trek’s The Next Generation, and PBS’s, Reading Rainbow. Do you know the handicap he had in the Star Trek Series? The answer is on the bottom of the announcements that can be seen on the Tiger Talk Blog.
Boxtops are due by Feb. 24th. The grade that turns in the most boxtops will get to pick the morning announcement music for a week. Start gathering those boxtops. We need 750 boxtops to meet our goal for the year. Remember to put your boxtops into bags of 50.
