We had a great crowd last night for our STAAR Night, which was wonderful to see. Our students and their parents stopped by booths to answer test-like questions; enjoyed playing carnival games in the gym that were manned by our PTO; and checked out all the books available at our Book Fair. They also enjoyed a wonderful spaghetti dinner. Thank you parents, for attending our STAAR Night with your children and supporting them as they prepare for the test.
