Benjamin Banneker's literacy night was a success, thanks to the outstanding leadership of Ms. Jolley, Ms. Ebling and their committee. The evening's centerpiece was the showcase of original student writing from grades K-6.
Students were given the opportunity to read their stories aloud to family members, engage in games, and enjoy refreshments. Our school’s emphasis on student excellence was evident. The event was a truly fantastic experience for our community.
