Principal's Corner

I don't have enough words to describe how incredibly proud and grateful I am for our community. Thank you so much to everyone who came out to support our 4th and 5th graders for Lion King Jr! A special thank you to 4th and 5th grade families who volunteered, made raffle baskets, and have been so supportive and flexible in preparing their children for the show! It was magnificent to see everyone coming together!

The Citizen Kids of the Reading Public Library are collecting art supplies, books and snacks to donate to the Reading Food Pantry. They mainly need art supplies since they have the RPL and Whitelam. The collection box will be near the main office. They are also collecting kids snacks like fruit cups, granola bars and snack packs. Please donate by 4/4/25. Thank you so much for your support and generosity!

We are so close to the end of our Readathon and are doing amazing. We currently are at 274,520 minutes which has surpassed all our goals! As a special incentive, if we can break 277,000 minutes by the end of the day on Monday we can silly string ALL THESE KOALAS! Keep reading, we can do it!
