There will be Treat Tuesdays, magic potion science experiments, Dress up Days, Flashlight Fridays, and many guests have been invited to read to our students. On Monday, March 18th, Cameron Zvara will be hosting a magic show!

We have attached a calendar so you can join us in celebrating reading each day in March!
