The mission of Cedar Grove Elementary is to grow our students into respectful, curious and productive citizens.
Community of Readers - 5490 Books Read!
The Reading Celebration Picnic Is Soon!
As of today, we have read 5,490 books!
We have set our reading celebration picnic date for May 26th with a rain date of May 27th. While we will not meet our goal, we will use the picnic to celebrate our progress and continue to log our books until the end of the year.
To help keep our students motivated to continue reading and logging, the PTO has graciously agreed to provide ice pops at the year’s end to celebrate their commitment to growing as readers! So KEEP READING!!
