Students had a great time as we celebrated World Read Aloud Day 2023! We had a teacher swap where students got to meet a teacher they may have in the future. Sixth graders also read aloud to our younger students!

World Read Aloud Day was a big hit with our students! We enjoyed special guest readers from our school and district and got to read some of our favorite books out loud in front of our classes. Our budding Grade 4 authors even shared some of their original work.

Such a great way to celebrate the love for reading!
