On Thursday, September 24th, Charlestown Elementary celebrated all of the students who particpated in the summer reading program at a school assembly. These students returned reading logs and projects for books that they read during the summer , either alone or with their parents. After the assembly, the children selected 2 new books to read from donations by our PTO and the Verizon Corporation. Some of the students also participated in the summer fitness program and math summer programs.We would like to salute all the parents who encouraged, assisted, or gently prodded their children to read over the warm, lazy days of summer. Students who read over the summer are more likely to maintain their reading skills and research has shown that students who fail to read over the summer actually may lose some skills. So thank you for supporting your children and literacy.
