Read Across America Week A Big Success!

Read Across America Week was 3/1-3/5/10 at EFES. Our school celebrated by writing the authors, books, and characters “Who We Love” on Horton Hears A Who “pink puffs”. Guest readers visited PreK-2 classrooms, and included Mr. Mike Debranski of the School Board, Mr. John Sudduth from the Suffolk Fire & Rescue Squad, and several volunteers from the Target Distribution Center in Suffolk, one of our Partners-in-Education. To end the week, many of our staff surprised the students by dressing as book characters to “Bring Books To Life”. Please enjoy the pictures below of the week.
