Our fourth graders had a special surprise today—a Mystery Reader! 🎉 They were so excited to guess who would walk through the door and share a story with them. There were smiles, lots of guesses, and plenty of reading fun! ❤️📖 Thank you to our Mystery Reader for helping make reading extra special for our students!
