On Monday, March 2nd, we kicked off Read Across America Week. The week is a celebration of reading, books, and our community as a place where we don't just "promote" literacy it is part of who we are. See below for the variety of activities that students, staff, and our school community participated. We capped off the Read Across America Week with Literacy Night. We will share images from this fun event soon. We had almost 200 GFSJWL come to Literacy Night. That is not counting parents, grandparents, and siblings. What a turnout!!!

Just like it sounds! Thank you to our wonderful PTO for their donation of popcorn for every student to enjoy while they read.

Mr. Hartling and Mrs. Hogsten visited GFS/JWL classrooms to be guest readers this week.
