Fun, Strange, Even Weird Things Happening This Week At Elementary Schools

January 25, 2015

Elementary school students in Escambia may do things that seem a little strange, or dress a little weird, this week — and it’s all in the name of reading.

This is Literacy Week, with special events planned at most elementary schools in the county. Here are a few highlights from North Escambia are schools:

  • Bratt Elementary –  Students will drop everything and read each day, and volunteers will read to classes during the week.  Students will chill out with a good book, along with winter scarves, hats and mittens on Monday. There will be popcorn for reading, hunting in camo clothing for a  good book and read my shirt on Tuesday when students will read other’s shirts and use the vocabulary.
  • Byrneville Elementary — Students will Read the Day Away on Thursday with visiting readers and enjoy Family Literacy Night. On Friday, students will take part in a vocabulary parade.
  • Jim Allen Elementary — There will be special guest and buddy readers during the week, an author study and more.
  • Lipscomb Elementary — Events will include buddy reading, teacher swap, a door contest and drop everything to read.
  • McArthur Elementary — Students will take part in a read aloud day, awesome author’s day, learn cold hard facts, fantastic fiction and pajamas and poetry day.
  • Molino Park Elementary — The week’s events will begin with a “Read Like Crazy” flash mob, dress up, a graffiti board, a read-a-thon with lasers lights and more.
