Literacy Week & Read-a-thon
The week of May 6 - 10, The Marylhurst School will celebrate a much-loved annual tradition, Literacy Week. Literacy Week celebrates the importance of reading and writing as a daily practice. Literacy allows us to explore new worlds, ideas, and perspectives. We can be creators of stories and poems, learning to express ourselves through the written word. Additionally, literacy allows us to participate fully as citizens, providing a pathway toward advocacy and social change.
Schedule for the week:
Monday - Dress as Your Favorite Book Character
Tuesday - Banned Books Day
Wednesday - Book Swap and Read-a-thon (donate here, student read-a-thon package here, and more information below)
Thursday and Friday - Creating Book-Inspired Art
Please donate to our read-a-thon here
On Wednesday, May 8th we will be having our school wide read-a-thon. Our students spend the whole day reading, listening to audiobooks and enjoying books with friends and teachers. During this time we are raising money to fill classroom libraries with graphic novels, chapter books, picture books, and theme related books. Each donation received will help to purchase books for Marylhurst students to enjoy.
Thank you!
