Very honored to have our visiting author, Shannon Anderson, with us today at school. Shannon is the author of several children's books and used to be a teacher before becoming an author. She taught us how to write, be kind, and always have a positive mindset!

Today, the Second grade classes had their March PBIS reward. The students got to choose between making a Spring craft or playing games on their computer. The students worked hard this month to turn in their homework, complete all assignments, and have great school behavior.
