Congratulations to Shaleigh Geoghagan and Hailey Myddleton for qualifying to participate in the state cross country meet.

Last week students in Mrs. Shubert's 2nd grade class participated in Book Talk presentations. Each student chose a fictional character to portray as they recounted their book for the class. Grayson Booker chose the book "Dragons love Tacos". He dressed up like the Dragon and brought in a taco prop. He enthused the class with his descriptive language and narrative details. Grayson set the bar high for the remaining presenters. Excellent Job Grayson!
