Message from the Principal
Hope you are enjoying the Labor Day weekend and staying cool! National Literacy Day is on Tuesday, September 8. On this day, we want to encourage all children to read for pleasure and discuss books with family members. Parents can also read aloud to early elementary children. Literacy is a much needed skill to help our children succeed in school and enjoy a full life. Reading as a family let's them know that you value reading and are interested in what they read. It also offers children the opportunity to ask questions, engage in conversation, develop communication skills, build their confidence, and share quality time with family members. Feel free to post a picture of your child or family reading a book on the Don Benito Elementary Facebook page.
