READERS ARE LEADERS
Readers are Leaders encourages you to March into Spring Break by reading with your child! Monroe County’s Culture of Literacy for this month is March Madness! Many students have set personal goals for what they are going to read over the break. Ask your child and read with them😊
March is also Women in History Month. Outside of the Media Center, there are blocks with names of Women in History. Your student can learn about these women while exploring with the blocks.
Brag Tags for Books continues to be so much fun. Keep reading over the break!
Have a Great Spring Break😊
