March Madness: Thank you to Mrs. Bonora and the HFA literacy committee for creating another successful March Madness! Books were carefully selected, and each week (sometimes each day), students were read two picture books and had to vote for their favorite. The final two came down to The Floating Field vs. Knight Owl. Both books were read to the entire school during an assembly yesterday and Knight Owl took home the win! #HFAallTheWay #HFAliteracy #CTRliteracy
