Thanks to all the military readers who came to our school today to read books to our kindergarten classrooms.  We appreciate the efforts of the Read Across Liberty team for providing books for each of our youngest students.  Remember students... Readers are Leaders!

As We Ring in the New Year, 4th Graders Ask Themselves... "Could I be a Colonial Kid?"

Today fourth graders got to visit with Dr. Annette Laing, author of the Snipesville Chronicles, a series of time travel novels.  Dr. Laing took students back in time to Colonial America as they reflected on whether or not they could have lived during that period.  Students sang songs, performed dances, and observed artifacts from the era.  Thanks Dr. Who... er.... I mean Dr. Laing, for the trip back in time.  Personally, I prefer to stay here in the 21st century!
