In honor of National Library Week, Mrs. Muzzy, Riddle School Librarian would like to recognize some people that are important to the running of Riddle School Library. It truly does take a village!
Kris Gambrill is the library paraprofessional, working with all the students each week to help them get just the right books, keeping track of Monarch and Bluestem reading, and tending to the mountains of books going in and out each week. She is pictured with Mrs. Daniel's kindergarten class
Kennady Drennan is a Mattoon High School Helper taking an Early Childhood Clinical Class and has been spending an hour and a half in the library each day second semester working with students, teaching lessons, making displays and jumping right in to assist any way she can.
Tonya Norviel has been volunteering in the library weekly for several years. She reads stories to kids, listens to students read, helps prep new books, and shelves books. Thank you from Mrs. Muzzy and the rest of the staff at Riddle!

Riddle Elementary School student Jessen Horst, a third-grader in Jennifer Ferrar’s class, was selected to be a Kidcaster on WCIA. Jessen spent the morning with Jack Gerfen and helped him in a live weather forecast. They also interviewed Jessen about the December tornado, which will air on April 19. What a fantastic experience!

*Wednesday WIGs Student Takeover*
Hey! I'm Isabella Compton and I'm a student at MMS in 7th grade. One of my favorite things we do at school is WIGs! WIGs are wildly important goals for all. Our principal, Mr. Pugh, has displayed his personal WIG to encourage others to reach for their WIGS. His goal is to be in the halls during transition times 80% of the time to be there for his students. My personal WIG is to read a book of a different genre by Spring Break! Right now, I'm enjoying A Good Girls Guide to Murder by: Holly Jackson.

Mrs. Hawbaker, twelve of her students, and Ms. Craig at Riddle Elementary have decided to participate in the 3,000 squats challenge in April for the children's heart foundation to support congenital heart failure.
They will be doing 90 squats at school each day with homework of 10 each night and 100 each day on the weekends to get 3,000 squats a piece for the month of April!
Mrs. Hawbaker is sponsoring each kid that completes the challenge for $5.
The kids and teachers are building teamwork, creating comradery, working for a bigger cause, and learning dedication and commitment to support congenital heart failure in babies and children.
Here is a picture of the team, they are calling themselves, Heart Squatters, with their very own trackers.
Best of luck to all those doing the challenge!
