Recognizing Top Readers


Thank you to all the families who joined us on Friday, June 6th to honor fifteen more students who earned 150 total AR points so far this year. Congratulations, students, You're the Tops!

On Wednesday, June 11th, thirty-five students attended a special “Breakfast with the Principal” for earning 200 points or more, the highest recognition level in our AR program. This was the most students that we have ever had attend this event! We traveled again this year to Monkey See, Monkey Do... Children’s Bookstore in Clarence, where students enjoyed breakfast, learned how to "write for their dreams" from local children’s author Tim O'Shei and selected a book of their choice (which many students began reading on the bus ride back to school). It was a special and memorable event to recognize our most enthusiastic and dedicated readers.
