On Wednesday, February 7th, Lyons Elementary celebrated World Read Aloud Day in partnership with students from the Lyons High School Leadership and Community Class. Leadership students were able to share the gift of reading in over ten classrooms and even outside on the playground! World Read Aloud Day was founded in 2010 by LitWorld.org. According to LitWorld.org the purpose of World Read Aloud Day is to “create community and amplify new stories, and to advocate for literacy as a foundational human right.” The joy of reading was seen in many classrooms on Wednesday and even included a special group that wanted to read back to the high school students.
A special thank you to Mrs. Kelly Wetmore, Mrs. Molly Thurston, Ms. Erica Gansz, Principal Taylor, Principal Schott, and the Transportation Department for collaborating to make this a success!
