Northside loves to read!
Fourth and fifth grade students worked hard this nine weeks reading various books and taking Accelerated Reader tests to show their knowledge and comprehension skills of the books.
Those reaching their points goal earned a "Pig Out" party. This celebration of success included bringing snacks to enjoy and playing games with their friends. Way to go Readers! We are proud of you!
