Principal’s book club.  For the month of January, we will be reading The Boxcar Children, book 1 by Gertrude Chandler Warner. If a student reads the book and earns an 80% or higher on the AR test, they will be invited to a book talk.  Our monthly book talks will take place on the last Wednesday of the month.
