🔎🐾 Cats Caught Reading at Sallas Mahone!

Early literacy begins with us. When grownups take time to read with children, we show them that stories matter. Thank you to Ms. Katonia Williams and Ms. Jennifer Hay for modeling the joy of reading.

And our Wildcats took it even further—turning their reading corner into a monster reading cave! Every page turned builds their love for stories and learning.
