Paragould School District

Mrs. Stephanie Camp's class had a PIG 100th day of school! That's right, a PIG day! It all began with a book on the first day of school. That book helped the students craft a plan in which they decided to read 100 books. And when they did, their outstanding principal, Andrea Moore, agreed to kiss a pig. And that's exactly what happened on the 100th day of school! #psdrams #littlerams
