Our hallways are always filled with our children's work. Newcomer's Club New children to our school need to feel they are important and welcome since the new surroundings and its people may be just a little overwhelming to many of them. Our guidance counselors take a Polaroid snap shot of all of our new students and these pictures are placed on the C.R.E.'s Newcomer Bulletin Board. The pledge leaders are recognized in the Weekly Parent Bulletin. This program begins in the early fall and concludes in mid-November.
All participants receive a certificate in their honor.
Entries are judged for city, district, and state competition as well. The Chesapeake Reading Council sponsors the Young Authors Program which encourages all students to become an author of an original book of fiction, non-fiction, or poetry. C.R.

All participants are recognized with a Young Author ribbon and all books are placed on display in our library. K- 2 will be recognized on a weekly basis for academic achievement.
