Each Monday, Principal Casey Wells hosts "Monday Morning Storytime," reading a book that students can follow along with virtually from their classrooms. Principal Wells sometimes invites special guest readers from the district and the community to join in the fun.
Great job, Principal Wells, for fostering a love of reading and connection across the school! 👏📖
