March 1st-31st
March is our "Month of Reading Madness"
Grad a book and READ with the CAT! Beginning March 1st accept the READING CHALLENGE to increase your monthly reading minutes. All school reading minutes will be tracked in the cafeteria. GO DRAGONS! Let's increase our monthly totals!
 
March 1st-17th
