Students look forward to the stories that our principal, Mr. Welburn shares with us. This month he read Too Many Toys by David Shannon. It is about a boy who has so many toys that it is time to give some away, but there is one toy he can't part with, and that is a box! It was a fun story that reminded us that sometimes all we need to have fun is a little creativity and some imagination.
