Read Across America Week at North Elementary School

By Anna Hughes

North Elementary School celebrated Read Across America Week February 27-March 3. Students and staff dressed up to match different book themes.

Several guest readers also came to school to read to the students. Readers included former North students, the fire department, police officer, GWU Ladies Basketball Players, Kings Mountain High School football players, and other community partners. Al Conklin from WBTV and Chris Mulcahy from WCNC were our two "famous" guest readers that visited. Students enjoyed meeting different people in the community.

All the readers also talked with the students about the importance of doing their best in school and that reading will always be a major part of their lives.
