Dunlap Elementary wrapped up March Reading Month in a fun and memorable way with their 'Reading is Fire' celebration!

Throughout the month, students challenged themselves with weekly reading bingo activities, exploring different ways to read and building strong reading habits. Each week, students who completed their bingo row turned in their sheets, and those who stayed consistent all month long were recognized in a special celebration.

To honor their dedication, students were crowned and “knighted” in front of the school, making the moment even more exciting and meaningful.

We are so proud of all of our Dunlap students for their commitment to reading this month and always. A big thank you to the Dunlap staff for encouraging a love of reading and helping students grow. Reading opens the door to imagination, learning, and future success, and our students are off to a great start!

March is Reading Month
This week, some of our Pennfield High School students had the opportunity to tour Albion College, giving them a chance to explore a college campus and learn more about the many paths available after graduation.

Experiences like this help students think about their futures and discover what opportunities might be the right fit for them. Whether that means college, entering the workforce, serving in the military, or pursuing other career pathways, opportunities like this allow students to explore what their next steps could look like.

A big thank you to the Pennfield High School administration and staff for helping make opportunities like this possible and for continuing to support our students as they explore their futures.

At Pennfield Schools, we are proud to help our students prepare for success in whatever path they choose.
