The Bennington Grade School Library celebrated Read Across America from March 3rd - 6th. Our theme this year was "Rounding up Readers". Students enjoyed many cowboy stories and activities in the library throughout the week. Mr. Pickrell gave roping demonstrations and students got to practice. On Thursday, the 6th graders performed a western skit teaching about wesern life and students enjoyed trail mix. Classrooms also participated in a door decorating contest to promote reading. The winners this year were Mrs. Shamburg and Mrs. Swearingen's classes. Mrs. Callahan's class was second and Mrs. Aksamit's class placed third. Take a look at the slide show to see pictures of activities throughout the wee. Read Across America - Rounding Up Readers
