Families teamed up with teachers to engage in exciting activities that promote a love for reading and learning. Thank you to everyone who participated in making this event a success!

Our 5th graders recently took a hands-on journey into the world of finance, government, and community roles at Young AmeriTowne! From serving as Mayor and Police Officer to managing finances as Accountants, students stepped into real-world jobs, gaining valuable insights into how communities function. A fantastic learning experience they won’t forget!
