March was a busy and exciting month filled with wonderful celebrations! We had a fantastic time celebrating Read Across America Week with lots of school spirit and many fun opportunities for students to dress up and join in the excitement. Throughout the week, we were so fortunate to have amazing volunteers from across our community visit our school to read to our students and help inspire a love of reading. Our students truly enjoyed these special moments!

We also hosted our Spring Book Fair, and it was a huge success! It was wonderful to see so many students excited about discovering new books and building their home libraries. A big thank you to Ms. Hailey Robinson for organizing such a fantastic event and helping make it such a memorable experience for our students and families.

We also had a wonderful evening of fun during our Renaissance Pie Bingo event! Families and community members joined us for a night filled with laughter, games, and delicious pies. It was a great opportunity to bring our school community together and enjoy time with one another.

Another highlight this month was our 6th Grade Culture Fair. Each student researched a different country and presented interesting facts they learned. Students also shared special foods from the countries they studied, giving everyone a chance to experience different cultures in a fun and meaningful way. Our 6th graders did an amazing job sharing their learning, and we were excited to open the event to our families as well as our 3rd–5th grade students, who had the opportunity to tour the fair and learn from their peers.
