Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Guardians,


We are excited to celebrate Read Across America Week at our school! This special week is dedicated to promoting the joy and importance of reading for all students.


Throughout the week, classrooms will participate in engaging literacy activities such as themed dress-up days, special read-alouds, guest readers, and other fun opportunities that encourage a love of books. Our goal is to help students see that reading opens doors to imagination, knowledge, and lifelong learning.


You can support Read Across America Week at home by:

  • Setting aside time each evening for reading

  • Asking your child about what they are reading at school

  • Letting your child see you read

  • Visiting your local library together


Thank you for partnering with us to build strong readers. We look forward to a fun and meaningful week celebrating literacy!


Warm regards,


Will Zwingmann, Ed.S.

Principal
