As spring break approached, many elementary students celebrated reaching their A.R. (Accelerated Reader) goals for the nine-week period with special activities. Third-grade students enjoyed reading Because of Winn-Dixie and capped off their accomplishment by watching the movie, while enjoying popcorn and sodas. Meanwhile, fourth through sixth graders participated in a Mario Kart tournament and played Farkle while savoring nachos.
