Dear ÉPK Families,
We all lead such busy lives and at times can forget to pause and do something as simple as curl up with a good book. During the week of October 16-20th, ÉPK staff and students will be participating in various activities to celebrate Read-In Week. Our daily sustained silent reading time (SSR) will continue in our classrooms but might look a little different to include some fun and enthusiasm. Stay tuned for more details!
We are also encouraging guests to come and celebrate their love of reading with us! Parents, guardians & community members are invited to share a book that was or is currently special to them, or can also choose to read one from our wonderful selection in our school library. If you are interested in participating, please contact your child’s classroom teacher to set up a time and date that works best.
We look forward to seeing many of you and listening to your stories. Happy reading!
Thank you for your participation,
ÉPK Read-In Week Committee
The Book Fair is coming (Oct. 30 - Nov. 3), and Mme Heather needs your (adult) help. If you are willing to run the book fair on a conference night (Nov. 1st or 2nd) or during part of the day when she is at the other school (needed Monday/Tuesday at EPK & Thursday/Friday at OLPH), please contact her at heatherc@eics.ab.ca. She will give more information, training and guidance to anyone interested in helping out.
