Happy 2019! With a new year among us and two weeks off, the students and staff at Mt. Hall Elementary are excited to get back to school. We enjoyed a successful first half to our year so far. We had a lot of notable events: the Mt. Hall Auction, our fall Scholastic Book Fair, and our Christmas Program. Along with all of these exciting events, our students have also made tremendous gains in the classroom as well. Improving reading has always been a main focus of Mt.
