Kindergarteners received their Reading Monsters today. After the kindergarteners drew a monster, Mrs. Carkuff's freshman FACS Class recreated them during their sewing unit. This is an annual project and the 4th class to receive them.

Students in Child Development class took a break from regular class to read to some elementary classes.
