SkillsUSA is a structured program of citizenship, leadership, employability, technical and professional skills training. Jesse is a student at Washburn Tech in Topeka.
With July quickly approaching, we wanted to check in on how our Elementary students were doing on their reading passport, "The Great Journey." Remember to encourage your child to:
*read with a family member, friend, pet or even a stuffed animal.
*read a variety of reading materials.
*read at various times.
*read in various places.
*read for different reasons.
*read in different ways.
Our school goal is 450 hours!
Happy Reading!!!
