1st and 2nd grade students got a special treat today! KATV morning anchor, Cassandra Webb, visited our school to read to students. She read "Dragons Love Tacos" (who doesn't love tacos?!?) and then students had the chance to ask questions about being in the news. She even interviewed a few students for a future segment on KATV. Thanks for coming, Mrs. Webb!
