Upper grade students had a wonderful time participating in Book Musical Chairs during library class . It was inspiring to see their enthusiasm as they explored the new books added to our campus collection. We are so proud of our students and their excitement for reading!
Big congratulations to our team on their dominant 42–14 win last night! 🙌 McAuliffe was on fire on both sides of the ball and are looking better every week. Let’s keep it rolling, Challengers! ⚡️🏈
