Give the Gift of Reading
Give the gift of reading to your student this holiday season. Wednesday, December 18th from 6 – 7 PM, Kilby Shores will be hosting a community involvement activity called “Give the Gift of Reading”. Title 1 money has paid for nearly 600 books so parents can “shop” for free books to give their Kilby Shores students as holiday gifts. Teachers will be on hand to help you select grade level appropriate reading books and wrap them up too!
Magic Tree House series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, Junie B. Jones series, and the Rainbow Magic Fairies series are just a sample of some of the books from which to choose. Holiday books, beginning reader books and chapter books too – there’s sooo many, it’ll be hard to select just one!
Parents attending the “Give the Gift of Reading” event MUST R.S.V.P. A flyer will be going home soon with all the details. Please be sure to return your R.S.V.P. to school to ensure a book is available for each child. One book per child attending Kilby Shores.
