During the month schools will be competing head to head with one another to see who can complete the most puzzles each week. Puzzles can be completed both in school and at home.
- Students in grades K, 1, 2 kicked off Read Across America by starting the Battle of the Books, organized by Mrs. Labriola. Teachers read different pairings of books to students. Students voted on the book they like best from each pairing. As the battle continues, books will be eliminated. At the end, one book will be crowned the winner. Look closely at the board (photo below) and you will see what book is in the lead for each pairing!
- Friendly reminder to share your photos for the yearbook! Photos can be uploaded here: Yearbook Photos
