Join us in congratulating our Instructional Coach, Mrs. Alexandra Lamping, who was recently awarded an astounding $5,000 grant from Dollar General Literacy Foundation. The purpose of the foundation is to "uplift, empower, and serve others through literacy." The project, titled " The Road to Reading", will provide a variety of new books for our school library. We are thankful for this grant and are excited to provide new reading material for all of our students.
