The Matthew Thornton Reading Department is comprised of Mrs. Lynn Peters, Ms. Kelly Sarbaugh, Ms. Ashley Engler, and Ms. Victoria Stickney. Our role as reading teachers is to work closely with the classroom and special education teachers to provide additional reading instruction for students in small groups.
