The Teutopolis Junior High students tried something new this year by hosting a "Read & Feed" with some great community members! Students who chose to participate picked out books they wanted to read and community members offered to read the same books. On Friday, December 2, 2022, the community members and junior high students gathered over lunch to have a "Read & Feed" where they ate pizza while talking about their books! We appreciate the community members willing to participate in this for our students who enjoyed it very much! Way to go Wooden Shoes!!
