📚“ In this story Katie can’t do everything in PE until she finds what she is good at! This book helps us see that everyone is good at something!”
Mrs. Castor shares her love of reading by going into each classroom and connecting Heath and PE standards through a read aloud! Students can then see the power of making healthy choices all the while falling in love with a good book!

📚We Read Wednesday📚
The Holly Harshman Elementary teachers and staff love reading, book talks, and sharing many of their favorite titles with you.
Mrs Holder has a special connection to the book she chose to share:
“Charlotte’s Web written by E.B. White was the first chapter book that my class ever read when I was in the second grade, and it sparked my love of reading! Now you can enjoy the book and even watch the movie to compare the two! In my opinion, the book will always be better!”
