HMS Celebrate their first Lexia Goal!
Students reached an exciting milestone by completing their first Lexia goal on the Lexia Mountain! Their hard work and dedication to improving their reading skills paid off, and they were rewarded with a special celebration. To recognize this achievement, students enjoyed ice cream at lunch, making the accomplishment even sweeter. This celebration not only honored their progress but also motivated them to keep working hard toward their next goal.
