📚✨ Red, White, and Blue Literacy Fun! ❤️🤍💙
What a patriotic and page-turning night! In honor of Celebrate Literacy Week, Florida, we hosted our Early Literacy Night last Thursday and it was a star-spangled success! 🌟
Our VPK-2nd grade students and families joined us to celebrate "Read, White, and Blue: 250 Chapters of America." From interactive literacy games and creative crafts to meeting our special eagle friend, it was a night dedicated to the joy of reading and the future of our youngest learners.
❤️ A Huge Thank You To:
The CCDS Literacy Team: Your hard work and planning made this event magical for our families.
Heather Teto (Chief of Elementary) & Melanie McIver (Supervisor of Literacy) for your incredible leadership.
Superintendent Broskie and Board Member Erin Skipper for stopping by to support our students and celebrate the importance of early literacy!
We are so proud of our Clay County readers. Let’s keep those "chapters" turning! 📖🍎
