Did you know...
This year’s 1st through 5th graders more than met the Summer Reading Challenge! When the final count came in, we found that our students had read a combined 312,000 minutes this summer. As a special treat, the entire elementary campus dropped everything and read on Monday, October 29. Students and teachers happily munched popcorn and read for 30 minutes. Our 4th graders announced that we read a combined 8,340 minutes on that day.

Words and Wisdom
"I am happy. I am very happy.
This morning
when I woke up
I felt good because
the sun was shining.
I felt good because
I was a frog.
And I felt good because
I have you for a friend."
—from Days With Frog and Toad by Arnold Lobel |
