Congratulations Super Readers! We had over 550 students who met their November goal and boarded the Book Mobile to choose a free book. The goal for the month of January is 500 minutes, and students will earn a READ bracelet or a clinch bag (if they didn't earn one in October). Keep Reading!
We are excited to have Aaron Reynolds, author of Creepy Carrots and Nerdy Birdy, visit with us. Stay tuned for more details!
