READING WEEK CELEBRATION

 

The community is invited to join the elementary students, parents, and staff for an evening of fun activities.  We will celebrate literacy on November 16, at 7:00 p.m. in the elementary gym.  Students will learn about the importance of reading in many different career paths as adults from our own community present the tools of their trade in "job booths."  Come and help us raise the awareness of reading in the real world.
