The excitement of reading filled the gym during our Elementary Reading Night! Families, students, and elementary staff gathered for an evening focused on the joy and importance of reading together. Elementary students kicked off the night by reading alongside high school FFA members, who served as special reading buddies. Afterward, students shared stories with their parents, showing off their growing reading skills and love of books. Thank you to all the families who attended and helped make Reading Night a success!
