Literacy Week
Literacy Week this year falls on the week of February 19th to the 23rd. We have many fun events planned, and we are inviting parents, teachers, and staff to participate in a special event called Stories Around the World!
We started this event during Literacy week last year, and we are looking to improve and expand it this year.
To participate in this event, you would bring in a story in a language other than English and read it to a group of students! When choosing a book, it's best if the reading time is around 5 minutes. Your time slots would be flexible to meet your availability. The best time for you to come in and read would be between 8:30am and 10:45am, so if you're able to come during that time frame, that's fantastic.
If this sounds like something you would enjoy, please fill out this form to sign up: Stories Around the World | Sign Up Form
