Today we celebrated Reading Across America with a special visit from Cat in the Hat! Elementary students gathered for an assembly where high school students read Dr. Seuss books to them. It was wonderful to see our older students sharing their love of reading with the younger ones.
After the assembly, elementary classes returned to their rooms to enjoy crafts and a snack while continuing the fun.
Thank you to everyone who helped organize and support this great event. Our students had a fantastic time celebrating reading together! 📚🎩🐾










Don’t forget to come by the gym at 5pm to attend the Title I activity and parent meeting tonight! Our community volunteer readers will be here to read Dr. Seuss books with your child. Bring your child by and see how excited they are to read with our volunteers! 📚🎉. Of course we will have goldfish snacks, for 1 Fish, 2 Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. 🎏


Grade cards will be available for pickup during Parent/Teacher Conferences this evening. Kindergarten–4th grade teachers will have their classroom grade cards available. Students in grades 5–12 will need to pick up their grade cards from the office.
