World Read Aloud Day

During World Read Aloud Day, our whole entire school read to our Mighty Mustangs.

Our students were able to enjoy being read to everywhere they attended.

If they had P.E., music, library, or even during recess we had staff, administrators, and support staff, reading to our students. It was a definitely a fun full of reading day.
