- Over 40 fourth and fifth graders got ready to "battle" early on Thursday. What a fun way to read hundreds of pages together to be part of the Washington Battle of the Books team! Thank you parents, Melanie Darnell and Francesca Gambill, for the literary experience!
- Over 100 runners were out early to walk/jog/run and skip laps for the first week of Run Club. Such a healthy way to start the school day - Go Explorers! Parent RC chair, Monica Landreth, leads the charge to open up the field and scan all the miles ran of all our devoted runners.
