Saddle Up and Read
February 2017
February Library News
February promises to be an exciting month for reading at New London Academy!
February 16th is World Read Aloud Day. We will be celebrating all week with guest readers in the classrooms. We will also have an assembly where the Lynchburg Hillcats will explain their “Hit the Books” reading program! Students can earn $10 in cowboy cash by completing a “home run” on their Hillcats bookmark. This bookmark can also be redeemed for two free tickets to a Hillcats game!
The National PTA Take Your Family to School Week is celebrated each February to encourage strong family engagement and highlight the importance of partnerships among parents and teachers in supporting student achievement. This year, Take Your Family to School Week will be held February 13-17, 2017. If you would like to be a guest reader in your child’s class that week, please contact Ms. Howe at khowe@bedford.k12.va.us.
Your friends in the saddle,
Mrs. Simpson, Reading Specialist
