National Reading Month is celebrated in March! During this time, people—especially children—are encouraged to read more and develop a love for books. Reading is one of the best habits a child can develop. It strengthens the mind, improves comprehension and analytical skills, sparks imagination, and boosts memory. These skills continue to pay off well into the future. 📚✨

The Silver Apple Award goes to a group of women who daily take care of the needs of all the students and staff in the building, and they always do it with a huge smile 😃 . They never let obstacles get in their way; from school delays, field trips, bagged lunches, last-minute menu changes, trucks arriving late or not showing up, going out of their way to make sure dietary needs and allergies are met, to the boiler breaking and flooding their kitchen, all these obstacles never affect their ability to serve the Rockford family. For the month of February, I award the Silver Apple Award to Rebecca Combs and her entire cafeteria staff.
