Uncover the Mystery of Reading!
Wantagh Elementary PARP 2019
Pick a Reading Partner (PARP) 2019
The Wantagh Elementary PTA is pleased to present another year of the PARP Program with more exciting theme days, an author visit and the 2nd Annual Family Game Night! PARP stands for "Pick a Reading Partner" and the program encourages reading at home and sponsors engaging activities at school.
This year, our theme is "Uncover the Mystery of Reading" and we are weaving in some mystery to our daily activities! Author James Preller, a Wantagh native, is the creator of the Jigsaw Jones mystery series and he will be presenting to the students during PARP. Other theme days include dressing in disguise (break out those funny glasses!) and sharing a riddle with classmates. The Scholastic Book Fair and Family Game Night present ways for families to celebrate reading and literacy together. We look forward to a week that shows students it's not mystery why reading is the best!
