Picture day meant a change of plans in Mr. McClurg's plans with acrylic paint. 🎨
Thoughtfully, he let his 4th graders create their own art and these students from Ms. Johnsons class are showing off what they made!


📚 Readers are Leaders!🌟
Some of our older students have been taking a trip down memory lane, reading to their siblings' classes or their own from previous years. It's amazing to see them inspire the next generation of readers! 👏✨
💡 Fun Fact: Reading for just 6 minutes a day can reduce stress by 68%!😌📖
