Sweetheart Read
Our Sweetheart Read has become an annual tradition that brings community and parent readers into our school to read with their little "Sweethearts". When possible, our event is held in-person at the Mata Library. When remote events are required, the resources below may be used to make remote readings more accessible and trouble-free.
If you are interested in volunteering to read with sweethearts other than your own or volunteering in other ways to make this special event run smoothly, reach out to Mrs. Thompson.
