This week, we were honored to welcome quite a few guest readers. We had School Resource Officer Sgt. Combs read "A Police Officer’s Night Before Christmas," and Hannibal Fire Department's Training Officer Mark Kempker read "A Firefighter’s Night Before Christmas." We also had SSG Sally Clayton from the 3175th Military Police Company read "A Soldier's Night Before Christmas," Beau Vieman from Gracie Barra Hannibal read "The Grinch," and a delightful Tom and Becky duo read "There Was an Old Lady Who Built a Snowman" and "A Pirate's Night Before Christmas."
A special shoutout to the Hannibal Free Public Library for sending Ms. Amber and Ms. Sena to read "Polar Express" and "The Grinch." It was a wonderful week filled with storytelling and holiday spirit!

Some of you may be hearing about an RSP at conferences. A Reading Success Plan is a requirement from Missouri's Department of Education to inform parents about their child's reading progress and any holes that need to be filled. Questions? Please ask your child's teacher.
3rd grade has been learning about voting all week. We read and learned about two candidates “Duck for President” and “Grace for President.” After learning about voting all week, we had an election today and each student was able to vote. More pics to come...
