 Librarian Annette Lanier instructs students to find a partner by finding the classmate with the nearest-matching pair of shoes. Such activities help build community and encourage students to meet new friends in the first days of school.

 Attendance Matters
- Attendance matters as early as kindergarten. Studies show many children who miss too many
days in kindergarten and first grade can struggle academically in later years. They often have trouble
mastering reading by the end of third grade.
- Your children can suffer academically if they miss 10 percent of the school year or about 18
days. That can be just one day every two weeks, and that can happen before you know it.

Don't Be Alarmed
We are required to practice many different safety drills here at
school.
Fire Drill: every week until October and then once a month for the
rest of the year
Lock Down Drill: two in the first month of school, one
in January and one in the spring
Bus Safety Drills: two times a year, fall and spring
Tornado Drills: two times a year, fall and spring
 Staff Spotlight: Annette Lanier
Ms. Lanier is the librarian for Cameron, and also in charge of our morning news show!
Although this is her fourth year as a librarian, she is always revamping her lessons in order for students to be challenged while having fun in the library. She says, "If you hear us making noise, don't be alarmed - we are just trying something new and stepping out of our comfort zone!"
What most people don't know about Ms. Lanier is that she was a special education teacher for 14 years prior to receiving her second masters degree in library education. This summer, for the first time, she took time off to be with family and connect with friends.
