Ms. Hawkins, we hope you've had a fabulous week and THANK YOU for your service and dedication to our scholars, families, school, and community. And yes, we LOVE our school counselor!

Today is World Read Aloud Day, and our students celebrated in a big way by reading to students in other grade levels. They were so kind and respectful of each other and incredibly proud of themselves for being so smart and brave! Let's celebrate every student reader every day by encouraging them to read to themselves, read to us, and by still reading to them. After all, we are never too old for a good book!
