Community of Readers - 5,002 Books Read So Far!
Reading Acceleration
In 2012, The Future of Children published, “Literacy Challenges for the Twenty-First Century.” The Future of Children is a collaboration of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and the Brookings Institution. The publication sought to “explore what is known about current levels of literacy, their determinants, and new strategies to improve literacy.”
Of the key recommendations made to improve reading in the primary grades is directly related to our “Community of Readers” Initiative:
The sixth recommendation called on schools to promote out-of-school reading activities for their students, as the additional practice and knowledge building this provides is likely to accelerate reading development.
Help us accelerate your child’s literacy skills by actively participating in our “Community of Readers” initiative! Great readers make great thinkers!
Join us in meeting our goal of reading 15,000 books. Forward this newsletter link to friends and family to help us reach out goal -- One book at a time!!

Masks While On School Property
Please adhere to our procedures...
Students look to staff, parents and guardians as models so I kindly ask that you wait until you are in your car or off school property to remove your mask when social distancing is impossible due to the number of people congregating. We appreciate your patience.
