📚✨ A Peek Inside Pleasant View Today! ✨📚
Today was a fun one at Pleasant View! During Scatter Reading, students had the chance to travel to any classroom with a teacher and settle in for 20 minutes of reading. It was so fun seeing kids spread out all over the school, discovering new spaces and enjoying a good book together! 📖
Meanwhile, we caught a couple of familiar faces hard at work in the front office 👀☎️ — Principal Mr. Cotton and Dean of Students Mrs. Gieseke were busy answering phones and keeping things running smoothly!
Just a few of the many moments that make Pleasant View such a great place to learn and grow. 💙💛
