Our students reached their goal of 1,234 books for Read Across America Week! Because of their amazing reading efforts, Mr. Markuson kept his promise and kissed a pig during our assembly on Wednesday, March 4thโฆ dressed as Captain Underpants! ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ๐ท๐
We are so proud of our students for rising to the challenge and showing just how powerful a love of reading can be. The pig may have been adorable, but our readers are the real stars of the week! โญ๐
Be sure to check out the photos and video from this unforgettable (and very funny!) celebration!
