Second Grade

Second grade enjoyed Mrs. Sechler visiting this week! We just love her creative stories! 

Third Grade

“Mrs. Martha Sechler was our guest reader this week and brought her singing bowl that holds magic stories. Martha’s singing bowl mesmerized our class and her stories had us on the edge of our seats! She told us two stories titled “Do Not Open” and “The Singing Drum”. Of course, we have to include a picture of our class at last week’s Walk-a-Thon! Our class did a fantastic job raising money for our school and walked a mile with smiles on their faces. It was a beautiful day to be outside and show our Wildcat PRIDE!
