Breakfast with the Principals!
Students who raised over $250 during Aquila Read$ had breakfast with the principals!

When asked what the money should be spent on during breakfast here were some of the kids' ideas...
*Zach thought all of Third Grade should go to a Vikings Game!
*Walter suggested having author Ashley Spires come to next year's Author's Night!
*Mateo thinks the entire school should have a pajama day with treats.
*Lorelei votes for new recess equipment.
*A trip to the beach was suggested by Abraham.
*Nora, Lyla, and Lucas thought field trips to the Children's Museum, Oliver Kelley Farm, and Westwood would be good destinations.
