March Madness is Almost Here!!

This Friday at 3:30 kicks off the real March Madness which takes place every year at Calvert School. A few years ago Tina Thomas, our learned librarian, started a reading program that takes place during the month of March which encourages the students to read, read, and read some more. The students compete individually and as homerooms to see how much they can read. They track their results on paper basketballs that they turn into Mrs. Thomas as they finish their books. It has been a lot of fun for the students during the last few years and I think this year will also be a blast. We had a kick-off assembly this morning in the auditorium. The children are fired up and ready to read.
