ECMS students compete in literature fair

On March 4 ECMS held a Literature Fair (similar to a science fair).

Students read a book, either fiction or nonfiction, wrote a book report, and made a model and display board of the book.

Students brought in their projects on Thursday morning, displayed them in the gym, and classes got to walk through and view the projects after lunch.

Parents and grandparents were invited to come in throughout the day and view the projects as well.

This activity promoted reading and creativity in students, and was a very fun and educational event. The projects turned out great! Thanks to all who participated!
