Students enjoyed listening to celebrity readers, reading to themselves, reading to the teacher, reading to a friend, listening to Mrs. Farrell read, and eating delicious snacks with drinks during National Young Readers Day. Reading is fun!





Celebrity Readers joined us to read to students for National Young Readers Day. Bailey Bryant- WCIA News Reporter, Dave Clapp- School Board President, "Officer"Jane Cress-Crossing Guard, Aubrey Carpenter-Curriculum Coordinator, and Jim Ribbe-Youth Coach & BH Maintenance and Grounds Supervisor were our guest readers.





Kindergarteners were practicing making 6 and making 7. Students put 2 sides counters in a cup, dumped them out, and made number bonds by counting the counters!
