Schools hold Open Houses and Readi Fests
       
For the last two weeks Boone County Schools have been hosting Open Houses, Readi Fests and K-Camp to get students ready and comfortable about returning.  At these events they meet their new teachers, see their home rooms, get class schedules and get reacclimated to their school.  Below are pictures from Stephens Elementary's Open House last week and R.A. Jones Middle School's Readi Fest last night.
