Stop, drop, and READ! 📚🎉 Earlier this month, Flat Rock Elementary kicked off Reading Month with a fun schoolwide DEAR time (Drop Everything and Read)! 📖✨ Students, teachers, administration, and staff all dropped what they were doing and dove into the pages of a favorite book to start the school day! Even the littles joined the reading fun by listening to stories and flipping through their favorite picture books! 📚 🌟 #wearepcps #teampowhatan

🌵💖 At Flat Rock Elementary, Mrs. Dewey's second graders recently focused on learning about kindness and creativity in the library! 📚 They read "Nobody Hugs a Cactus" by Carter Goodrich and made their own heart-themed cacti. 💚🧡 One student shared a thoughtful insight: “You don’t hug them in real life. Not because you don’t like them, but they are prickly.” What a perfect way to remind us that kindness comes in all forms, even when things feel a little prickly! 🌵 #wearepcps #teampowhatan
