MCDOWELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Pupils put on a great show!
McDowell Elementary School second graders were in rare form recently as they sang in the April concert led by music teacher, Mrs. Arndt.

Mrs.
Zielinski's second-grade students at Taylor Parks Elementary School make the

if it means reading while waiting to use the restroom.
Students
settle down in the hall, taking turns and to help pass this time, they bring
their books with them.
Taylor
Parks’ students never miss an opportunity to read!
