Weekly Update

One School, One Book

This month our school will be starting our third all school book club called One School, One Book, thanks to our wonderful and supportive PTA. Every family will receive a copy of the same book – Jacqueline Davies’ The Lemonade War- and asked to read it at home over the month of March. Here is a link to our school's YouTube channel for the daily chapter read-alouds by Mystery Teacher Readers.
