Dear Hirsch Hawk Parents and Guardians,

I wanted to highlight the importance of encouraging your child to read nightly. This simple routine offers numerous benefits, including:

1. Improved Academic Performance: Regular reading enhances vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking skills, leading to better academic performance.

2. Enhanced Communication Skills: Reading helps children articulate their thoughts and ideas effectively, which is valuable in both school and life.

3. Cultivation of Creativity: Reading sparks imagination and creativity, fostering innovative thinking.

4. Stress Reduction: A nightly reading routine provides relaxation and stress relief.

5. Empathy and Cultural Awareness: Diverse reading materials promote empathy and open-mindedness.

6. Life-Long Learning: Regular reading instills a love for learning.

To support your child's reading habits:

1. Create a Reading-Friendly Environment: Offer a variety of reading materials at home.

2. Set a Regular Reading Time: Establish a dedicated reading time each night.

3. Be a Reading Role Model: Let your child see you enjoying books.

4. Visit the Library: Explore the library together.

5. Discuss What They Read: Engage in conversations about their reading.

Your involvement is crucial in nurturing a lifelong love for reading in your child. This gift will benefit them in their educational journey and beyond.

Additionally, I'm excited to announce that our school's Big Kahuna Fundraiser Kickoff will take place on September 29. This fundraiser plays a vital role in raising the necessary funds for grade-level field trips and cultural programs, which enhance your child's education and provide them with valuable experiences outside the classroom. We encourage your participation and support to make this event a success.

Warmest regards,

Mrs. LaToya Patterson
