Family Picnic and Story Hour

On Monday, June 16, 2003, Mrs. Loranger and Miss Constant's team held the first annual "Family Picnic and Story Hour". Many family members and friends ate lunch outside on blankets and then listened to the original tales that students had written and published in reading class. Numerous projects and the writing folders were also on display. Everyone had a great time! Special tanks goes out to all those who came early to help set up, donated the yummy treats and helped clean up.
