GET READY TO READ! The Annual PTO Read-A-Thon BEGINS Monday MARCH 9!


We are excited to be reading together as a community while raising money for new library and classroom books! Students have been sharing what they are reading at home, inspiring others to try new titles and build a nightly reading habit. Our Read-A-Thon runs from March 9th through March 27th and challenges students and teachers to read as many minutes as possible. Every minute counts as we work toward our school-wide goal of 27,000 minutes.Let’s keep turning pages, discovering new stories, and falling in love with reading all over again!


A BIG THANK YOU TO THE PTO!

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible PTO for the coffee truck during conference week! Your support kept our teachers energized and smiling through a busy conference day on Thursday! We appreciate you a latte!

NSBORO READS


As part of the NORTHBORO READS annual celebration organized by our school librarians, we welcomed PEASLEE alumni who are now high school seniors back to our classrooms to read with students. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate reading together and connect our LITTLE PANDAS with SOME OF OUR BIG PANDAS!
