TOMS Continues to Rise with Reading! 7th Grade Library Checkout Kickoff!
We’re off to a fantastic start with our 7th graders checking out library books! Students have had a great time enjoying puzzles, building blocks, and even taking on a TikTok challenge
After checking out a book, students are asked a trivia question. This week’s question was: “What is your address?” Students who knew their address were rewarded with a peppermint!
We discovered that many of our students did not know their home address. Students who weren’t sure were encouraged to find out so they’ll be ready the next time they’re asked.
Parents and guardians, please make sure your student knows their home address and has a working phone number memorized. These are important pieces of information every student should know.
Thank you for helping us keep our students prepared and safe!
