National Young Readers Week

During the Week of November 8 - 12 we will have "celebrity" readers come to our school and read to the students. We have asked local community members to come to our school and read.

Why is this week "celebrated"?

Children learn to enjoy reading by example. When they see adults whom they admire and look up to reading, your students will be more likely to read for enjoyment, as well.

Meeting people from many different fields helps to reinforce the fact that reading plays an important role in any career a person chooses.
