Today, elementary students across the district participated in Spring Book Break! They read "Nigel and the Moon" by Antwan Eady, talked about careers and what they wanted to be when they grow up, and even received a copy of the book from the El Dorado Education Foundation! Thank you, EDEF, for providing each of our elementary students with a copy!
Check out Yocum students K-2 reading the book together! For more photos, visit each of our school's Facebook pages!
