I am excited to announce that Seaforth High School will join the district-wide One Chatham Reads initiative. At the start of the second semester, students will participate in reading for pleasure through advisory (once a month) and in Earth Science and World History classes. Click on this link to read more about our approach to supporting literacy at the high school level. By participating in a One Chatham Reads, we hope to encourage students to read for pleasure, build reading stamina and vocabulary, and make literacy a matter of importance. Your child is encouraged to bring a book or magazine from home to read or to check out a book from our library.
