Fall Into Reading Pictures

Congratulations to the 1st grade classes on winning the Fall Into Reading contest sponsored by Mrs. Carpenter and the Saint James School library.  The first grade read a total of 203 books during the contest period.  For their efforts, the two first grade classes received a dress down day and “star reader” certificates.  Mrs. Carpenter said it was a close race and reminds everyone to keep on reading!
