A special reader was none other than PAWS, the mascot of the Detroit Tigers. With an invite from Mrs. Thomson, fourth-grade teacher, Paws entertained the students with a reenactment of the classic baseball story, Casey at the Bat, read by Mrs. Godfrey, another TP wonderful teacher.

After the story, questions were asked of the students and if they gave a correct answer, a great prize was awarded. Taylor Parks’ students and staff are now ready for the start of a successful season of baseball.

After experiencing a performance by the Michigan Philharmonic Orchestra, Mrs. VanDerworp’s third graders at McDowell Elementary School created an orchestra of the very own. 

The orchestra had a strings section (empty Kleenex boxes and rubber bands), a woodwinds section (plastic straws) and a percussion section (empty tin cans and plastic Easter eggs filled with dried beans). The pupils found out that music is lots of fun!
