Chatterton School hosted a successful Community Read Aloud on Jan. 24, where local business leaders, community members and other school family members were invited to read to classes.
As part of the school’s PARP or Pick a Reading Partner program, guests gathered for a welcome breakfast ahead of their personal reading experience.Travel-themed books were pre-selected for readers to connect with the “Reading Takes You Places” theme.
Principal Dana Bermas encouraged readers to tie in how books have helped them reach their place in the community.
“We want to instill that love of reading in children at a very young age and hope that it carries them through their lifetime,” she noted. “Those moments that you take with them are truly inspirational.”
Students went on travel journeys throughout PARP week, taking adventures through reading books where they could learn new things and travel the world. They also enjoyed an assembly, author visit, book reunion day, book bingo and more.
