Literacy Week Fun!

Students were surprised each day by a DEAR time.

Literacy Week Read-A-Thon   
Several students won Raffle Baskets for pledges earned during the school-wide DEAR reading time. The Read-A-Thon was a great success and enables Embers to purchase much-needed literacy resources!

Literacy Night!
