Jane Addams students joined forces with other students in the district to "Read for the Record" last month. The book they read was "With LOTS of Love." Many students either read it in the library or in their classrooms throughout the day. Mrs. Reavis, our new librarian this year, led the charge on this fun experience! Check out her poster to get to know her more!
