September 1st – No School – Labor Day September 2nd – Joplin High School welcomes home the Eagles! A Note from Your Teacher: n We are introducing our 40 Book Challenge this week. The 40 books will be read through the course of the year. We want a classroom full of kids who love to read, and that see the importance of reading! Please encourage your child to read a little each night. I do not have a requirement on how long or when they need to read, as long as they meet their challenge by May.
