Hi friends!
We are so excited to bring the Books & Badges program to our elementary! This program is designed to foster a love of reading through vital leaders of our community {police, fire, EMT, etc.}!
Though classrooms obviously won’t be part of the equation this year, our wonderful “badges” across the county have improvised for us! We will be posting lots of videos in the coming weeks, we hope you all enjoy them as much as we have!
Thank you so much to everyone who made this happen for our kiddos! We are so grateful!
Until next year!
