Reading month gets creative at BHES

Most people open books to read them — not go through them.

But not at Bluffton-Harrison Elementary School, where students and teachers decorated their doors with book-related themes this week to celebrate the school’s inaugural “We Love Reading” month.

Two groups of judges, adults and students, each designated the best door among the grade levels and among nonclassroom doors.

The judges then each nominated a best overall door from among their earlier choices.
