We are excited to announce our March Reading Challenge for all K–5 classrooms! Reading is one of the most important skills our students can develop. It strengthens vocabulary, builds comprehension, increases confidence, and helps children grow into strong, independent learners. Most importantly, it creates meaningful time for families to read and grow together. Logs should have come home with your student on Lit Night.
