What a fun and energetic Masked Reader Assembly we had last Friday! The room was loud and full of excitement as we revealed our masked readers one by one.
One of the biggest surprises of the day was when students discovered that last year’s principal, Mrs. Larue, was one of the masked readers. The excitement was unforgettable!
Thank you to everyone who helped make it such a memorable way to celebrate reading!
