Antelope Elementary scheduled a Books and Breakfast event for Thursday, November 5, from 8:00 to 8:30 AM, according to school announcements. The event coincides with an ongoing Penny Wars competition that has seen significant point totals and monetary contributions across various grade levels and classrooms.
Community Reading Event
The Books and Breakfast event, which was clarified in a November 3 announcement to avoid prior confusion, invites families to join students for a special reading session. The school encouraged families to bring their favorite student to participate in the morning activity, which is designed to foster community and shared reading experiences among the Antelope Allstars.
