Hallways and classrooms are transformed into a safari adventure for students at West Boulevard Elementary.

Students takes their wild about reading theme for Right to Read week to a new level. Hallways were decorated with vines, animals, gazebos and palm trees to demonstrate how wild they are for reading.

A daily book fair was coordinated during and after school for students to purchase new books.

Students drafted a wish list, which was mailed home by faculty, of books they wanted. Parents can purchase the books for their children and teachers will fill and deliver the order to the students.
