School Notes On Dismissal And Savings Bank
Excessive heat led to afternoon dismissals this week. Report cards will be issued this year instead of every four weeks. The School Savings Bank opens deposits Friday, with Friday morning banking at both schools. Parents should encourage weekly deposits, even small amounts, as deposits last year totaled several hundred dollars and foretell stronger future savings.
Excellent Records of School Attendance
Davenport Times notes remarkable attendance records across Illinois towns. Miss Irma Nielsen of Clinton County posted nine years with no absence or tardiness, earning a gold pin at eighth grade graduation. Other standout cases include Harold Woodgate of Dayton and Mary Hicks of Waukegan with long streaks, plus Allen Ellingsworth of Geneseo Township with sixty months of perfect attendance.
