Brain Friendly Learning Spaces
Reading Is Fundamental
Our Fall RIF distribution will be held on Thursday, October 16 from 10:30a.m.-2:00p.m. All of our SPPS students will be able to choose a book of their own from a wide selection of popular titles.
Please consider any topics or titles that you would like to see represented in this year's selection. Carolyn Kincaid, this year's SPPS RIF coordinator, will attend next week's SIT meeting to gather your feedback. A sign up sheet will also be available, so please note down when your class would like to attend RIF.
Please encourage your students to get a library card from the Southern Pines Library! They have a wonderful children's section, and several FREE activities throughout the year.
Thanks!
