April is Reading Month

April is Reading Month

April will highlight the pleasure of reading for the annual April is a Reading Month celebration in the elementary school.  Students, parents and teachers will enjoy a variety of fun activities that will begin in April and continue to May. The events will range from traditional bookmark competitions and Books Open doors to a Family Reading Night which will take place on April 30, 6-7 pm.

We are also looking for parent volunteers to read stories to children in their home languages. This activity has been very popular for a few years now and we would like to be able to continue offering it. If you are interested in reading in your home language to elementary school children, please contact the library staff.

Finally, parents can promote a love of reading by participating in the Community Reading Photo Exhibition.  Upon return from Spring Break, send in to Ms. Sayyora print quality photos of your family or child reading.  The photo can be serious or silly. On a plane, in a tree, on a horse, by the sea….send photos of great places to read!
