Teen Read Week October 19, 2009
Posted by sullivanms in Literacy.trackback
Greetings!
I hope you are staying warm! The cold weather seems to have come a bit early this year. This is a busy time at Sullivan and I wanted to keep you posted!
This week is Teen Read Week. We have a variety of activities planned in the media center. On Tuesday morning, we will be holding a “boys only” pancake breakfast before school. This will be a chance for our male students to discuss books with our male faculty and staff. We will also be holding another skypecast with another middle school to discuss Hunger Games on Thursday. There are many other events planned!
Next week is Red Ribbon Week. The focus of red ribbon week is to educate students on the dangers of making poor decisions. We have a slew of activities planned. Highlights include:
Parent University Session on the dangers of drug and alcohol use by pre-teens and teens @ 6:30
Drunk driving simulation – Wednesday for 8th graders only
Report cards will be issued on November 5th, due to the employee furlough.
Please continue to encourage your child to read as much as possible. We have been reviewing data that suggests the amount of time a child spends reading directly correlates to increased scores in school. It is important that students read for at least 20 minutes a night at home.
