The Mapleton elementary students attended the final reading celebration of the school year shortly before school dismissed for the summer. The kindergarten classes kicked off the assembly with readings that they shared with the student body. Ms. Porter's class shared a reading titled "Summertime" and Miss Smith's students read a poem called, "Here I come!"
    After the student presentations, Mrs. Oberreuter announced the classroom reading awards and handed out the certificates. Following the classroom awards, Gold Medal Reader Certificates were handed out to all students who read over 100,000 words, as tallied through the AR system this year. The final awards handed out were for the students who reached designated point levels this quarter and earned books.
    To finish out the assembly, the teachers read a poem called, "I'm glad I was your teacher" and then students shared summer reading recommendations out to their friends.
