Our 5th graders enjoyed a trip to hear the North Carolina Symphony today, and they did an incredible job representing our school! They were well-mannered, respectful, and dressed to impress. We are so proud of them! 🎶👏

Our school Read-A-Thon begins on Monday March 2, 2026 and is sure to be a fun and exciting event.

We understand that your time is valuable. We also know that providing the best education for your child is important. That's why we are encouraging everyone to activate their student's Read-A-Thon account as soon as possible. The instructions are straightforward, making it quick and hassle-free, and it should take less than 5 minutes of your time.

Watch a short video to see how to signup your reader:

This account will serve as a hub for recording and monitoring your child's progress as a Reader in the event, and for you to share their Read-A-Thon message with friends and family. Use the link below to activate your student's Reader account:
