There was something truly special about seeing our football field filled with families, blankets, books, laughter, and little readers enjoying time together under the stadium lights!
And let's not forget the STAR of the evening… KEVIN! 👽💚 Our favorite alien was quite the celebrity, stopping for pictures and making memories with our students! One of our favorite moments was hearing a student ask Kevin, “Are you the alien that gives me calendars?” 🥹 That little question says so much about the excitement our Take Me to Your Readers! literacy initiative is bringing to our school!
❤️ A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this evening possible!
A special shout-out to Mrs. Miller, whose wonderful idea inspired Reading Under the Lights! Thank you for dreaming up such a special way to bring our students, families, and community together to celebrate reading. Seeing your idea come to life under the stadium lights was truly something special! ❤️
Thank you to our amazing staff members, volunteers, families, Board of Education members, and community supporters who helped with planning, setup, concessions, supplies, organizing, and cleanup. Thank you to everyone who helped make our football field available and ready for a special night of reading!
So many people contributed their time, energy, resources, and talents to make this event happen. Whether you helped behind the scenes, worked throughout the evening, donated, spread the word, or simply stepped in wherever you were needed, please know how much we appreciate you! We couldn't have done it without you!
And to our wonderful Bulldog families, THANK YOU for showing up, bringing your books and blankets, and sharing the joy of reading with your children. You are the reason we do this! ❤️
Our mission is about so much more than learning to read. It's about building a community where we celebrate reading, involve families, and get children excited to become skilled readers.
One school. One community. One mission. BUILD SKILLED READERS! 🚀📚
