Now through March 17: OSOB AND READ-A-FUN

One School One Book and the Reading Raiser read-a-thon is going on. The One School One Book is a program brings us together as a community. PTA has provided every student and staff member with a copy of Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. Families are encouraged to read chapters each night and then students and staff can discuss what they've read during school, lunch, or recess! It's like one big Book Club! PTA volunteers and Cub Leadership will be helping out with activities following the book theme throughout the month. 

Students are encouraged to log into readafun.com to log their hours. The Reading Raiser proceeds will go toward improvements to the track and other PTA funded events, activites, and supplies for the school.
