THE SECRET IS OUT! 🎭📚
We’ve had some very strange visitors in our hallways this week, but today the masks finally came off! A huge round of applause for our Masked Readers who helped us celebrate the joy of books:
🩰 Madame Mud Pie: Our very own Coach Baucom proved that coaches look great in a tutu!
🐭 Anonymouse: Coach Pyburn scurried to the gym to show us that even mice love a good story.
🐂 Moochacho: Mrs. Merryman brought some serious "bull-ish" drama to the stage!
🍀 Shamrock O’Smiley: Mrs. Bankhead brought the luck of the Irish (and the best library books) to the party.
🐠 Glub-riella: Nurse Morgan made a splash and reminded us that reading is the best medicine.
Thank you to our amazing staff for being such good sports and to our students for their incredible guesses!
