TCS Celebrates Read Across America with our lifelong love of BOOKS and READING!!

Some of the many ways we will celebrate this special and exciting week......

Mystery Readers- all week
This has been a big hit over the years - here is how it works......As a “surprise” students will have guest readers visit classrooms throughout the day. All faculty are invited to sign up to read a picture book to individual classes. The students loved it when someone new came to their room ie School nurse, a middle school teacher, Art teacher went to their classroom to read aloud a favorite story or picture book.
