  • Tuesday- Stripes and/or polka dots

For Read Across America Week, 2nd grade will be having a fun  day at “Camp Read-a-Lot” on Friday, March 6th. On this day our room will be transformed and we will spend the day reading and relaxing!  Thank you so much to those of you that signed up to donate items for our day!
