WHAT WILL MR DAVIS DO?
For the past 5 years, Mr. Scott Davis, Principal at Springfield Elementary School has done some crazy and interesting thing to get his students to be passionate about reading! This year is no different! Today, at a school wide assembly, Mr. Davis unveiled that he is willing to have his students and staff throw some pies at him if they have met their reading goals! That is how strongly he feels about promoting reading among students! Check out the slide show that was presented to his students today, which takes a look back at the lengths to which this man will go to promote reading!
