Second Graders at Clara Peterson had the privilege of hosting author Linda Fehrenbacher. Mrs. Fehrenbacher is a former teacher and principal who wrote a book about one very cold and snowy winter. The book also emphasizes being kind to others and the impact kindness has on everyone. Since November 13 is World Kindness Day, it was the perfect opportunity for all the second graders! The book is illustrated by second graders in her former school! Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity.

First-grade students recently visited "Our Town" and learned the important roles of Mayor Ingold, the Paxton Fire Department, and the Postmaster!  Students also visited The Frederick Community Bank and Hudson’s Drug Shop. Students were able to see how important these resources are to Paxton and the surrounding areas.

Every Friday in the fall, our elementary students get a special visit from some of our high school fall athletes. These student-athletes take time out of their busy schedules to come read, connect with our younger students, and share their love of books. These Friday visits are already becoming something our elementary students look forward to each week. It is wonderful to see our older and younger students learning, laughing, and connecting. We are proud of our fall athletes for being leaders both on the field and in the classroom, and we appreciate them for making reading a special part of our Fridays!
