The students and staff at Grand Prairie Elementary had a great time portraying some of the wonderful characters from our most beloved books! On March 5th, students at GPE celebrated reading and literacy with Book Character Day. Everyone dressed as their favorite character from their favorite book and were given opportunities to share these books with their classes. We loved sharing the books and characters that mean the most to us with our friends! #slpproud
