2009-2010: A Year Full of Reading!

It has been a great year of reading in both the Primary and Intermediate Centers! Thank you to all of the parents for encouraging and helping your children practice their reading at home!!! I hope the reading continues this summer as our students get ready for their next grade level!!!  I look forward to seeing all of the students next year!!!  As for the outgoing 4th graders, I have enjoyed getting to know them and sharing great books with them!!  I know they will enjoy checking out books with Mrs. Norton at the middle school!!!

Have a great summer!!

Mrs. Lyon
