Announcements

We have finished our first Shawcago Tribune newspaper. Download it here! (It's a PDF file; you will need Adobe Reader or some other PDF reader to view this file. We're publishing it this way to save paper and printing costs. If you'd like to print it yourself or pass it along to grandparents, feel free to do so.)

The next Book of the Month Club will be meeting soon! To join, just read "George's Marvelous Medicine " by Roald Dahl. See Mr. Shaw for a copy.

The next Wordly Wise Spelling Group qualifying test will be at 11:30 on Wednesday, Dec. 2.
