It’s Friday Book Bag Day for Kdg and 2nd grade! Kindergarten students were especially excited to take home 3 decodable books, plus a set of high frequency word cards.

Kdg and 2nd grade families, books should be brought back every Friday for students to swap them out for new ones. Practice makes permanent! #proudcardinal

Coming Soon! The Scholastic Book Fair will be held February 2nd - 6th. Check out the photo to see when your student shops. #growingreaders
