Last week St. John the Baptist School celebrated Right to Read Week. The theme this year was Open a Book and Explore the World! We were honored to have the author Barbara Coyle present to the students. She has written
In the Land of Soon Come a children’s book about her religious journey to Jamaica. Every day last week we had a mystery reader and time for the students to read. Families/students were also encouraged to donate new and gentle-used books for Ethel Taylor Academy. Everyone was VERY generous. The total books collected in one week were 2,145! Three homeroom classes donated over 200 book including Ms. Gruenwald’s 3
rd grade with 248 books, Ms. Wilmes’ 2
nd grade with 253 books, and Mrs. Peters’ 4
th grade with 365 books which is almost 16 books per student!
