East Elementary's Mrs. Rolan has turned a classroom corner into the "Author Spotlight" area! This summer, she's reached out to more than 30 children's authors of books in her classroom library to learn more about their lives and careers, and has even added character stuffed animals to correspond with the books. She is working on developing lifelong readers by making creative connections for her students!




When the Lady Raiders stop by to hang out with the Lady Pirates! 🏐🏐🏐
