Celebrate Reading at Morehead!
Celebrate reading this week! The Morehead Montessori PTA's Book Fair starts this Thursday, November 19th through Sunday, November 22nd. If you buy books from the Regulator Bookshop during those dates at www.regulatorbookshop.com and use the code Morehead 2020 (with a space before 2020) at checkout, 20% of your purchase will be donated to Morehead's PTA. You can also buy books from teachers’ Wish Lists to donate to their classrooms -- ask your teacher for a link to their list! We will also share links to all available Wish lists once they are ready, along with instructions. Wondering about extra costs? All Wish List books will be held at the Regulator to be distributed to teachers by the PTA--you don't need to pay for shipping. For other purchases, the Regulator offers free curbside pickup, delivery in Durham for a small fee, or they can send books anywhere for a standard shipping fee.
In celebration of books and reading we have some great literary events planned this week! All events are optional, via Zoom. Morehead students and their families are encouraged to attend! On Wednesday, Nov 18th, local author Kelly Starling Lyons will meet with Morehead students to read from her books and talk about being a writer. She'll meet with Primary students at 12:45 via the Primary Daily Zoom link, Lower El students at 1:15 via Ms. Brown's link, and Upper El students at 2:30 via Ms. McPhail's link. That evening, Wednesday Nov 18th at 6:00 pm, some Morehead students will read from their own writing via this link. Please attend to cheer them all on! On Saturday, November 21st at 10:30 am, we'll enjoy a half-hour bilingual storytime geared towards Primary students at this link. Support our school and a local business by shopping the Regulator Nov 19-22 using code Morehead 2020 (with a space before 2020) at checkout and please encourage family and friends to do the same! Contact Meaghan Hutson at 919-450-8289 with any questions.
