We wrapped up our Read to Them One Book program last month, but that didn’t stop the fun at Zuckerman’s Farm last night for our Family STEM Night! 🐷🕸️🌱

From Charlotte’s Web spinning, Wilbur’s pig pen building, Templeton’s trash sort, and seed planting, we had such a wonderful time learning and creating together with our students and families.

A huge shoutout to Carter Bank for attending and for sponsoring our school throughout this program. We are so grateful for your support! ❤️📚

Thank you to all of our families for making the night so special!

🌎Each 5th grade student received an “Energy Kit” to take home and ‘teach an adult’ how to conserve energy at home (and save money, too!). The Take Charge Program is courtesy of Appalachian Power. Thank you for your partnership with RCPS!

We’re excited to announce that our Book Fair will be open April 16–28!
To make shopping even easier, families can set up a Book Fair eWallet—a safe, cash-free way for students to shop independently. No need to send cash, and friends and family can even contribute!

Let’s get our students excited about reading—every book is a new adventure waiting to begin!

We kept the One Book excitement going with our Book Character Dress Up Day and Parade! 📚✨So much creativity, fun, and love for reading on display what a great way to celebrate our favorite stories! 📖🎉

📚 Mrs. Hackley, our former librarian, joined in on our Charlotte’s Web fun and read a chapter to our kindergarten students. We loved sharing the story together with her! 🐷🕸️

This morning our students learned about financial literacy during a special visit from Carter Bank! 💰📚

We are proud to partner with them as part of our Virginia Reads One Book program this year and are so thankful for their continued support of our students and school community.

📚 We wrapped up Read Across America Week with special visitors from Carter Bank and The Roanoke Sheriff’s Office, who came to read to our classrooms. Thank you for helping make reading fun for our students! ❤️
