Ms. Cupp plays the trumpet.
On January 9th, Watauga Elementary School kicked off their second annual One School, One Book Literacy Project. The Trumpet of the Swan, by E.B. White was selected by the school for this year. Students, faculty, and staff received a copy of the book following a school-wide assembly. The assembly was presented by Ms. Amanda Cupp, who demonstrated playing the trumpet, sharing various songs from the story and Mr. David Winship, who introduced the book and read the first chapter. Each day the students read part of the story at school with their classmates and participate in activities and projects. At home families are encouraged to read together and also engage in various activities. This program is an effort to build our literacy community and generate excitement about reading.
