St. Anne Celebrates Literacy Awareness Day

St. Anne School celebrated Literacy Awareness Day on Friday, January 26th, 2007. The school wanted to promote the importance of reading and learning together as a school and as families. Grandparents of students in Kindergarten to Grade 3 came to read with their grandchildren and their friends. Mr. Ron Dupuis was another special guest for Literacy Day.

The literacy kick-off for the entire school (K-8) also began that day. The “Reading Book Worm” starts in the front foyer and the intention is to have him “grow” around our school by encouraging students to read. Individual classroom teachers have sent home specific criteria for their own classes. As students read, their names are added to the Book Worm. Everyone is encouraged to continue reading as a family home. Happy Reading!!

St. Mary Catholic School recently celebrated Family Literacy Day. The theme for the day was “Hockey Literacy” and students wore their favourite team jerseys. The primary grades rotated from class to class and enjoyed stories and activities geared to hockey. Literacy Day activities ranged from redesigning a hockey book cover to producing hockey cards or creating a hockey jersey. Many thanks to guest readers Mrs. Estelle Scappatura, Trustee for the Sudbury Catholic District School Board and Mr. Roland Muzzatti, Academic Superintendent for the Sudbury Catholic District School Board for volunteering their time to read to the students.

The students thoroughly enjoyed the day judging from their comments such as: “I had a great day and it was fun!”… “It was fun because it was about hockey and I love hockey”…”Hockey Rules!”…”I liked when we got to make a hockey card.”…”Today was the best day ever”… and …”When can we do it again?”
