Book Baggies - Try to Read 3!
AB students going into grades K-5 can be part of our Book Baggie program. Students will keep track of the books they read over the summer by filling out the 3 books in the baggies brought home in June. In the fall AB PTA will hang all the books in the MPR. Any book read alone or with a parent can be included.
