📚🎉 Read Across America Week Fun at MMCSD!
Our elementary students are celebrating Read Across America Week with stories, surprises, and lots of reading excitement.
Today brought some extra special surprises for our young readers. Second graders were thrilled when Principal Dean stopped by as their special guest reader, while our PreK students enjoyed a visit from Board of Education Trustee and Retired Mount Morris Teacher, Donna Todd, who shared a story with the class.
All week long, classrooms are also enjoying our Mystery Reader challenge. Students listen to a prerecorded book and try to guess which MMCSD staff member is behind the voice. The guesses have been creating a special buzz around the building!
It has been a fun week celebrating the joy of reading. Keep turning those pages, Blue Devils! 💙📖
📚 Kicking Off March with our Top Readers!
Elementary readers from each grade level PreK - 6 went above and beyond during February break, logging minutes read and showing incredible dedication to their books.
This week, students who recorded the highest number of reading minutes were rewarded with a special kickball game alongside their teachers and Principal Dean!
Keep turning those pages, Blue Devils. Who will be our top readers next time? 💙
