This past week MWS held our annual Read-a-Thon this past week to celebrate "I Love to Read Month". Students throughout the school participated in 120 minutes of reading on one of two designated days, and grade levels had a great deal of fun with this event.
In Kindergarten (pictured left), students and teachers alike dressed in pajammas to get comfortable while they were reading for fun. In Second Grade, students brought a stuffed animal to read to in the classroom as students participated in the event. In a Third Grade classroom, students came to school in beachwear as they pretended to read and relax in the sun. Much fun was had throughout the building as students were given an extended period of time to read for enjoyment.
Many MWS students collected pledges for their reading from family members, friends, and neighbors in the community. Funds raised for the school have been designated toward the purchase of new library books and to upgrade our playground equipment outside. Three different businesses in the community contributed to making this event a success. Davanni's contributed to participation ribbons for students and offered certificates and pencils. Office Max contributed over 500 envelopes for students to collect donations. Executive Ocean Printing Company helped print ribbons for students as well.
Thank you to all students, family members, MWS staff, and community partners for contributing to the success of this important event!
