Super Readers
When a student in first grade is beginning to read, sometimes it seems that the light bulb of reading goes off. To celebrate that time and keep the momentum going, we've continued THE SUPER READER CLUB. When a child is ready for beginning chapter books, he/she gets a Super Reader button and the privilege of going to the Media Center by himself to get an extra library book. The child can go to the library every day. You can just imagine the pride on his/her face! Right now we have sixteen Super Readers, but the club is growing!

Yearbook
