A Note from Ms. Sickler
Our school is about to take part in a special, community-wide shared reading event that will occur in March. Every student will receive a copy of the same book and will be asked to read it together at home. Order your book HERE. Remember, the book will be a surprise until March 1st when we have a school-wide reveal.
