📅 Shopping & Special Read-Aloud

Join us for family shopping on the evening of Wednesday, March 26 from 6:15-7:45pm. Plus, students in grades 1-3 can enjoy a special read-aloud at 6:30pm with a surprise guest! The librarian, Ms. Kaczynski, will send home the details about the Read Aloud (copies are also posted below).
