Summary
Students at Byron-Bergen observed Read Across America with weeklong activities across grades, and both elementary and Jr./Sr. High Student Councils reported service projects, a snack-cabinet drive, and upcoming events including Field Day on May 29.
Educators M. Wahl and K.

Students earn raffle tickets for literacy activities and can win prizes including local sports and entertainment tickets.
Elementary Student Council described recent service work, including collecting over 100 boxes of snacks to stock the elementary snack cabinet for students in need and hosting a "Pop in & Play" family night; Jr./Sr. High Student Council reported outreach to elementary classes, a Winter Pep Rally, Spirit Week and announced Field Day scheduled for May 29. These student-facing activities were presented as part of the Academic Focus and Student Council reports.
