Our school is part of a super cool reading program called "And the Winner Is...".  We are one of 14 MISD campuses to participate in the program this year.  The program is featured in our local magazine, Mansfield Now.

Giving thanks to Sarah!

Sarah Hale should be thanked for Thanksgiving.  She was not a pilgrim and she was not at the 1621 harvest celebration (later known as the first Thanksgiving) but she was important to the holiday we know as Thanksgiving.  Read this book and click on the links below to find out more about this woman who is so important to Thanksgiving today.
