Melrose Park Elementary
 Kindergarten students at
 MPE are reading Keep
 Books. The students in Ms.
 Moseley and Ms. Patterson's
 kindergarten classes are cre-
 ating Home Libraries with
 their Keep Books. The books
 are part of a series of begin-
 ning readers, which the chil-
 dren enjoy within the class-
 room.
 Each child gets their own
 copy of the book to color and
 customize. They gain reading
 skills and strategies with the
 text and then take their book
 home to read to with parents
 and loved ones. The best part
 is that they don't have to
 bring the book back it is
 their to keep. The book fits
 neatly in any shoebox. Each
 child asks mom or grandma
 for a shoebox, which can be
 decorated and labeled. The
 Keep Book Library js a spe-'
 cial addition to our Home-
 School connection.
 The school wants to thank
 the students 'for doingI 'thei-
 best on FCAT. The school
 spirit and determination to do
 the best was felt by all these
 past two weeks as everyone-
 worked their way through the
 series of tests. Without the
 parents support and dedica-
 tion of the teachers and staff
 members the task could not
 have been complete. The
 school is very proud of the
 students accomplishments. A
 special thanks to the PTO for
 pampering everyone with low
 sugar snacks for the students
 during FCAT.
 Congrats. These students
 have their terrific "Math
 Tessellation" birds hanging in
 the front office. Miranda
 VanVleck in April Bolkosky's
 class, Akeem Collins in
 Laurie Fike's class, Tammy
 Roberts, Courtney Robinson
 and Kyndall Austin, all in
