Students at Lakeside Elementary built reading skills and excitement through a schoolwide literacy initiative that ended in a memorable and messy celebration.
As part of the school’s annual “one book one school” program, families read Dragons in the Bag together while tracking reading minutes throughout the month.
Classes tracked progress and competed for top reading spots, with a growing “class dragon” marking their success.
“The PTA and the student council keep track of who reads the most,” Administrative Intern Tammi Niederhauser said. “And then they've had a class dragon that they created, and the class dragon got bigger and bigger by every link each time.”
Top readers from each class were rewarded by helping “decorate” Principal Hilaree Lowry with taco ingredients.
“So, the student that read the most in each class got to come up and douse the principal with some taco elements,” Niederhauser said.
Lowry said the event became a strong motivator as students realized what was at stake.
“Well, they've been having so much fun. And this morning I went and walked around in my taco outfit, and they were so excited for it,” Lowry said. “At first, it didn't really catch on. They didn't really understand that I was willing to make a mess of myself. And when they realized what was happening, all of a sudden, they were really motivated to be able to, to see this.”
The celebration connected directly to the book’s theme and encouraged excitement around reading.
“And there is an element of tacos in there. Dragons do love tacos,” Lowry said. “So, it's great to see the kids excited about a book and excited about reading.”
School leaders said the goal is to build lasting reading habits and keep students engaged.
“We love to motivate the kids to read,” Lowry said. “And big thanks to our PTA who has spearheaded this whole reading month and tied it into our one book, one school.”

Landon Horton, a science teacher at Farmington Junior High School, stars as Olaf in the Hale Center’s production of Frozen. Horton’s performance not only shows his love and skill for acting but serves as an inspiration for his students.

Students at Morgan Elementary School wrapped up French Week with an assembly celebrating cultures from around the French-speaking world.
Throughout the week, students were introduced to different countries through daily songs and lunchtime activities. The event gave students a chance to perform song and dance inspired by regions including France, Belgium, Quebec, Senegal and Réunion.
While Morgan Elementary offers a French immersion program, the assembly was designed to include all students. Educators say sharing French language and culture schoolwide helps build connection and cultural awareness, giving students a broader understanding of the world beyond the classroom.
