Crisman Elementary Books Brought to Life
Books were brought to “life” at Crisman Elementary! Families were invited to listen to Crisman teachers and the principal, Scott Hufford, read aloud books such as, The Cat in the Hat, Magic School Bus, Curious George and many more. Except the teachers didn’t look like themselves…each teacher was dressed as the book character. Clifford the Big Red Dog stole the show by posing with families, giving out high fives and playing peek-a- boo with the little ones.
