Wait… where did everyone go? Oh, there they are—blending right in with a great book! 📚🫣 Camouflage Day was a hidden success as we geared up for more reading adventures this month! #ReadingIsOurMission #NowYouSeeUs #BetterTogether




This month, our classrooms have been filled with excitement as guest readers and mystery readers have joined us to share their love of books with our students! 📚✨ A huge THANK YOU to these amazing visitors who have helped bring stories to life and inspire our young readers this week. We were delighted to welcome Dr. Senkowski, Deputy Superintendent of Instructional Programs from our Saginaw ISD, as well as our own Mrs. Gensch, and Mr. Snider from Hemlock Elementary.
