Top level grade readers were Ashley Syumski, sixth grade; Kaytlyn Metz, fifth grade; Alexis Kozuch, fourth grade; and Searra Romanski, third grade.

Special readers for March were state Rep. Sharon Tyler, third grade; superintendent John Jarpe, fourth grade; Marine Sgt. Paul Williams, fifth grade; and trooper Rob Herbstrieth of the Michigan State Police, sixth grade.
