Each April, National Poetry Month gives folks the opportunity to celebrate the importance of poetry and the poets whose works actively enrich our lives. Poetry also presents a wondrous opportunity: the chance to build a bridge between reluctant readers and a love of books. (1/2)

That’s a wrap @readtothem on our 3 week One School One book of the Mouse and the Motorcycle. This classic didn’t disappoint and even my 5th grade panther family kiddos loved it. Big thanks to our principal @teach_katie for be willing to dive right in with us @madisond181

A special thank you to C&F Bank, who sponsored the program at North E.S., for their generosity and support.
Thanks to @CandFBank, each student has the opportunity to open a savings account at a local bank, and an initial $5 deposit to get them started on their financial journey.
