There was something extra special happening in the preschool room today! 📚✨
Mrs. Lee brought her 1st grade reading group down the hall to share their growing reading skills with the preschoolers. The little ones loved listening to the big kids read, and the 1st graders were so proud to show off how much their fluency has grown this year.
Mrs. Rasmus especially loved having some of her former students back in her classroom and seeing just how much they’ve grown as readers since their preschool days. Moments like this are such a great reminder of how quickly these kids grow!
Mrs. Lee is always finding ways to encourage her readers—building confidence, celebrating their progress, and creating meaningful relationships with our youngest learners along the way.
Safe to say… fun was had by all! 💙📚

We wrapped up our Read Across America Week celebrations in preschool with our final guest reader! 📚🎉
Mrs. Weaver joined the class to read Wacky Wednesday by Dr. Seuss, and it was the perfect silly story to end a week full of reading fun. The students loved searching for all the wacky things on each page and sharing lots of giggles along the way! 🤪📖
📚🎩 Dr. Seuss Week Fun! 🎉
Our students and staff had so much fun celebrating Dr. Seuss Week with some creative dress-up days! From tall hats and silly socks to animal prints and dreaming about what we want to be when we grow up, the halls were filled with color, imagination, and lots of smiles.
Each day brought something new:
🎩 “The Cat in the Hat” – hats of all shapes and sizes
🐆 “Put Me in the Zoo” – animal prints everywhere
🧦 “Fox in Socks” – the silliest and most colorful socks
🚀 “Oh, the Places You’ll Go” – students dressing up as what they hope to be someday
It was so fun seeing the creativity from both students and staff as we celebrated reading and the joy that books bring. Thanks to everyone who joined in and made the week extra special! 📖✨

Great job HEART students!
Our preschoolers are having a blast celebrating Read Across America Week in honor of Dr. Seuss! Today’s theme was “Fox in Socks” and the kids showed up in their silliest, craziest, most colorful socks. From mismatched pairs to bright and funky patterns, it was a sock-tastic day for all! 🦊✨
A big thank you to Mrs. Carter for being the guest reader today! The students loved having her join them for story time and help make reading even more special.
What a fun way to celebrate books, imagination, and the joy of reading! 📖💙
Winter Sports Banquet - Monday!
Come start your day with Breakfast!
In celebration of Read Across America Week and honoring Dr. Seuss, our preschoolers had another special guest reader today! 📚✨
Miss Kassi joined the fun and read Fox in Socks — and let’s just say, those silly tongue twisters had everyone giggling! 🦊🧦 The kids loved trying to keep up with all the rhymes and tricky phrases (and Miss Kassi nailed it!).
We are so thankful for staff members who take time out of their day to pour into our littlest learners. There’s something so special about building a love of reading through laughter, rhythm, and a whole lot of Seuss-style silliness. ❤️
What a fun way to celebrate reading together! 📖🎉
Mrs. Rasmus is bringing the magic of reading to life this week as we celebrates Read Across America Week in honor of Dr. Seuss! 📚✨
She invited staff members from around the building to come read to her preschoolers each day — such a fun way to build relationships with our youngest learners and show them that reading is something we all love!
Today’s theme was a classic — Green Eggs and Ham — and Mrs. Rasmus went all out by making green eggs and ham for her students to actually try! 💚🍳 Some were brave, some were skeptical… but everyone had fun!
Our very first guest reader was Mrs. Lee, who did a wonderful job bringing the story to life. The smiles, giggles, and wide-eyed excitement said it all! To make it even sweeter, Scarlett soaked up plenty of belly scratches from the students after the read aloud — the perfect ending to a great morning. 🐾
What a creative and engaging way to celebrate reading while building connections across our school family. We love seeing our staff pour into these little learners!
Stay tuned to see who tomorrow’s guest reader will be! 📖💕
