Fulton Elementary School
Reading is Whaley Fun
The January Reading Incentive has begun. It has been the perfect week to curl up with a good book and read. The students will enjoy receiving a sticker and candy or erasers for their reading slip. The stickers are placed on a huge poster with an underwater scene outside each class . Our goal is to reach 100,000 minutes read outside of school. Encourage your child to become a lifelong reader.
January is the perfect month to read.
