Claxton Elementary students were given the gift of reading this week, when they were allowed to pick a book of their choice as a Christmas present from administrators. Media Specialist Phyllis Anthony and Stacy McGlashan, the school's instructional coach, oversaw the book give-away in a room where classes came one by one to peruse titles from classics like The Tale of Peter Rabbit to historical accounts like Man Walks on the Moon. CES Principal Marty Todd and Assistant Principal Miriam Sands gave away over 1,000 books, one to each student throughout the book distribution.
