Mrs. Burson Reads To Mrs. Hargett's Class

Mrs. Burson was thrilled to spend the morning in kindergarten.

The school was in full celebration of Dr. Suess and his
birthday.  The students were fantastic listeners as I read
The Cat in the Hat.
They agreed with the fish - the cat needed to go!
Thing 1 and Thing 2 made such a mess,
Why or why, couldn't they just have said "NO!"

Mr. Gross Reads to Kindergarten

As we all celebrated Dr. Suess and his birthday, Mrs. Hargett found
it was the perfect opportunity to have visitors read to her class.
Above, Mr. Gross, our superintendent takes time out of his busy day
to read to the students.  The children were so excited.  They love him so!!!
