Next week will be our annual family reading night. The activities will start at 5 pm. Each child who attends will receive a free book, there will be fun games, and there will be a meal. At the event, you will learn more about the summer reading program.
Summer reading programs are essential to preventing the summer slide, which occurs when students lose skills during the summer break. Under the new guidelines from the state legislature, summer reading programs will be a big part of the plan to help students achieve grade-level reading skills.

The tournament is a double elimination, so at the end of the day the team had to play Ashland twice in a row to see who was taking home the first place trophy. In the first game the team soundly defeated Ashland, but in the second they lost a close one. Congratulations to the team for a great season, first in the season and second in the tournament: Eliana Brier, Raelynn Bishop, Gunnar Greuel, Matthew Limbaugh, and Rowan Wergeland.
