Dear Parents and Guardians;

We are celebrating Love of Reading Week February 15-19, 2010. We invite you to celebrate with us at home and school. We are encouraging your children to shut off the TV and video games for this week in February. We invite them to spend time reading with you and alone. Reading opens so many doors for all of us. At school there will be activities centered on reading each day.

Our schedule is as follows:
Monday/February 15, 2010: Guest Reader Day: We have invited Guest Readers to visit our school at 9:00am. They will read in each class. The guest readers are Councilwoman Mrs. Romero or her Aide, Policeman Sgt. Gallego, Olympian Swimmer Lacey Nymeyer, Director of school Mrs. Strozier, Elementary Principal, Ms. Ayon, and Jr. High Principal Mr. Strozier.
