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.
