These Caldwell students are the recipients of the Avid Reader Award for this week! They love to read, and help their friends find great books to read too.
Parents: If you drop your student off in the mornings in the front of the building and there is a line of traffic, please make sure to pull all the way to the right along the fence before entering the parking lot. We want to keep the roadway as clear as possible for other drivers. This will decrease the number of vehicles crossing the double yellow line and endangering others. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe!
