World Read Aloud Day-Friday, Feb. 1, 2018
Dear Parents,
Pleasant Union will be participating in World Read Aloud Day on February 1, 2019. Because Track 3 will be out on the official day, they will be celebrating on Tuesday, February 19. Every year, on World Read Aloud Day, people all around the globe read aloud together and share stories to advocate for literacy as a human right that belongs to all people.
This year’s theme is “Read Aloud. Change the World.” Because we are a WCPSS Global Pilot School and our school wide focus this January will be on Quality Education, we have decided to partner with a needy sister school in Belize. Find out more here: http://holycrossbelize.org/.
Pleasant Union’s own, Peggy Freer, had a part in building the school and has plans to visit on February 1, 2019. Thank you for your contributions to be shared with our Sister School in Belize. Our collected items will be personally delivered by Mrs. Freer and her trip colleagues! We will track her trip and communicate with the students through photos, videos and skype or Google Hangout sessions, as they receive the supplies we’ve collected. What a wonderful way to change the world!
