📚✨ BENGAL LIBRARY READER OF THE MONTH! ✨📚
We are kicking off the school year with a SERIOUSLY AWESOME reader! 🎉📖
Our very first Bengal Library Reader of the Month for 2026-2027 is a 6th grader who has already shown us exactly what it means to be a reader! ❤️📚
Here’s the story that made us smile: Mom was THRILLED to see her choose to read her library book during a road trip… while her cell phone was sitting RIGHT NEXT TO HER. 😂📱➡️📖
Because sometimes the best adventure is the one you find between the pages! 🌎✨
And that is something worth celebrating! Research consistently shows that students who read regularly build stronger vocabulary, improve reading comprehension, and develop better overall literacy skills. In other words… reading is basically a superpower. 🦸♀️📚
💥 “Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.” 💥
We are SO proud of this Bengal reader for choosing a book, choosing an adventure, and showing us that a good story can beat a screen—even on a road trip! 🚗💨📖
👏📚 CONGRATULATIONS to our first Bengal Library Reader of the Month! Keep turning those pages, keep exploring new worlds, and keep being an AMAZING example for your fellow Bengals!

To celebrate the return to the moon with Artemis 2, Mr. Walsh's 6th graders finished the year researching, designing, and presenting space missions. They researched a planet, a dwarf planet, or an asteroid and designed a mission. Then they presented to either the 7th or 8th grade teachers, who graded their projects. #Celebrate379
These Industrial Arts students completed at least 2 modules in the NCCER Core curriculum and therefore received their wallet cards. There is a QR code on the back where a future employer can scan it to see what credentials they have! Next year, they will continue working towards completing Core. #Celebrate379
