These students went above and beyond to meet their AR goals, and we are so proud of their hard work! They celebrated their success with cookies, hot chocolate, and a cozy Christmas movie. Way to read big and finish the quarter strong! 🎄🍪☕
Holiday Reading Together 🎄📚
As we approach the Christmas holidays, we encourage families to take time to slow down, connect, and bond with their children through reading. The holiday break is a wonderful opportunity to build lasting memories while also strengthening your child’s literacy skills.
Reading together can be simple and fun, this could include snuggling up with a favorite book, taking turns reading aloud, talking about characters, or even listening to stories together. These moments support comprehension, vocabulary, and a love of reading that lasts far beyond the break.
The Alabama Reading Initiative (ARI) has shared many fun and engaging at-home reading opportunities that families can enjoy together. Click the link below to explore ideas, activities, and resources to make reading part of your holiday traditions:

A special thank you to Mrs. Williams for organizing this experience, and to everyone who helped make the event possible. We appreciate you all!
To help tell the difference between the two, our students created their very own Noun Town. Filled with people, places, and things they chose themselves. Great job, boys and girls
Thank you to our amazing teachers and staff for your hard work, dedication, and heart. We couldn’t do it without you!”
