Hunter Newman and Isaac Ferguson

Mt. Loafer Elementary's first grade students are joyous about reading.  Our first grade teachers, Mrs. Bradley, Mrs. Grover, and Mrs. Olsen have emphasized all year the important link between reading and learning. 

The students have worked hard this year to become fluent readers.  To celebrate their hard work, the teachers hosted the annual first grade read-a-thon on Wednesday, May 9th.  The children brought sleeping bags, bean bag chairs, pillows, and blankets, to lay on while reading.  Each child also brought their own books. 

After school, the teachers supplied the fun; a cupcake walk, game rotations, and a hot dog supper.  It is a Mt. Loafer first grade tradition that students look forward to year after year!

Mt. Loafer's first, second, and third graders have been busy preparing for their spring concert, This is Our World, which will be held Friday, May 11th, at 2:00 p.m. 

The spring concert features songs that the students have been working on all year.  The songs will focus on the concepts of weather and the responsibility of recycling.

Students are under the direction of Mrs. Robin Brown.
