3/6/2019 0 Comments March 4-8Dear families, This week launched our annual first grade's bookworm.! Students from grades 2-8 volunteered to participate in this special event. Each of our students inherited the shape from an older sponsor. Every book or chapter that a first grader reads is recorded on the assigned shape and added to our bookworm. The worm begins at the library and crawls its way to the commons until our reading celebration in May. Wednesday, we were also fortunate to watch the middle school performance of Beauty and the Beast. It was a spectacular performance! First graders are always excited to see familiar faces on stage. The students were astonished to witness the dramatic talents of their FA mentors. Have a wonderful winter break!
