Welcome to Our District Wide Read!
As part of our Strategic Plan, it is our mission to align our district mission, vision, and 6 C's to our curriculum and instructional practices within the classrooms. This past February, our district participated in reading one text, Strictly No Elephants. We identified 2 of our 6 C's, Compassion and Citizenship, that were our focus throughout the event.
Our students and staff enjoyed the text and continued the theme of "kindness" throughout the spring with projects, signs, hallway decorations, and much more! Please see our focus questions and projects that are included in the Power Point below.
