Multicultural Club went to WIS, CEPS, and 4K to read books centered around the district theme of kindness in February. Brittany Brazzel was a HUGE force in making this idea happen (thank you!), and it was SO successful. The joy of our students and the entirety of McFarland students 4K-5 was incredible to see. It was an amazing way to build community. The littles LOVED the big kids visiting!
