Dear Palmer River Elementary School Community,
March is National Reading Month, and Palmer River Elementary School is buzzing with literacy celebrations. Students and staff are engaged in various activities highlighting the importance of confident reading. The PTSA is organizing a Read-A-Thon fundraiser where students log their reading minutes, igniting motivation. Additionally, the annual Spring Scholastic Book Fair kicks off next week. Reading specialists have lined up a week-long celebration including grade-level bulletin board contests, a school-wide book walk, daily "drop everything and read" sessions school-wide, and a family literacy night for grades one through three on Thursday.
We look forward to a week of reading and fun! If you should need contact us for any reason, our contact information is below. Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kristine Kefor, Principal & Dr. Cheryl Leandro, Assistant Principal
