Galesville Elementary had its first of many GE Reads! event where students venture around the building from reader to reader. This month we featured Native American authors, books about harvest time, and so much more. We threw in some books about belly buttons and other super silly topics. In future months we will be hosting readers from all over the community. We had very happy readers at GE today. #galesvillepride
