Wow, our reading community is absolutely crushing it!

In just the very first week of school, our Huskies checked out a mind-blowing 599 books from the library! Our shelves were practically flying open as students raced in to grab their next great adventure. From colorful picture books to thrilling chapter series, the reading energy in our hallways is unmatched.

We are so proud to see our youngest learners diving headfirst into pages of discovery and kicking off our community reading promotion in style.
