READING FAIR 2021
We are pleased to announce that from February 24th-26th, 2021 we will be having our 7th Annual Reading Fair. This Reading Fair will give students in grades K-3 the opportunity to share their favorite book. The goal is to energize readers and share great books with others.
The students participating will be making a tri-fold display highlighting important elements of the book they have chosen. This year the Reading Fair will take place during the school day. Students will present their Favorite Book & Display to one of our Judges. Pictures from our 2021 Reading Fair will be posted to our WES Facebook Page for all to enjoy!
