W.R. McNeill Elementary

We will be doing the Warren County Public Library's Winter Reading Challenge Jan. 5th-30th! Reading logs will go home January 5th. Students who read or listen to 5 books and bring back their completed reading log will receive a prize, a Winter Reading trading card, and will have their name entered in a drawing for the grand prize. They can log books they read over Winter Break!

McNeill Elementary 4th grade students held Poetry Publishing Parties today, sharing poems inspired by George Ella Lyon’s “Where I’m From.” Beautiful poems that celebrate each student’s home, family, and traditions.
