*Future Planning
*Our Literacy Nights are coming up on April 8th USD 476 and April 15th for USD 371. If you would like to volunteer to run a station at the literacy night please contact me. I will do all the planning and gather the supplies, I just need volunteers. Additionally, we are doing a camping theme, so if you have a tent that you could let us use for flashlight reading in the gym, I would really appreciate it! Thank you!
