Russell Hughes visited the Wise Pre-K Center and read to the students in Mrs. McBroom’s class.  The children were delighted with his reading of “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!”, a favorite by best loved author, cartoonist, animator and artist, Theodor Seuss Geisel, best known to the world as “Dr. Seuss.”   Dr. Seuss’ birthday is March 2^nd, and is recognized across the county in schools, libraries, and community centers by bringing children, teens, adults and books together to celebrate literacy.

Mrs. Hope Allen's 5th grade class made five hundred thirty 100s on AR tests in less than one month! Literacy Week inspired the students, but the motivation to read more and take more tests continued. Submitted by Debbie Bush/Jessica Dawkins.

2^nd graders at West DeFuniak Elementary participated in planting potatoes in a grade level garden on Wednesday, March 1^st. The students were able to individually plant their own potatoes. Students learned that potatoes are usually planted first in a spring garden and what the criteria is for planting potatoes. The students had a blast working in the garden and getting a little dirty! Students are excited to see how well their plants will grow in their garden this year. Submitted by Amber Carnley/Jessica Dawkins.
