Patrick Henry's Week in Review
Though we only had a four-day week last week, we still made some wonderful memories. Students just completed their second week of the spring semester, and we are finally back into a routine once again. It feels exciting to be back at school after such a long winter break, and we are ready for the challenges of this semester, particularly given the immense growth we saw in our reading scores at the end of first semester! More results will be shared next week, but for now, I want to say congratulations to all of our young readers for challenging themselves immensely in the area of reading. We are so proud of you, and we know you will only grow more as this semester unfolds!
