Willy Reads February 22-26, 2021

Posted in Events

Willy Reads is here!

Throughout the week of  February 22 – 26 we will celebrate our love of reading and books.  Our focus this year is on African Heritage month and anti-bullying. The week will feature virtual book readings by Canadian authors Lana Button and Dan Bar-El, grade 6 students, our school admin team and more. There will be fun activities and friendly competitions that families can participate in at home too. Check out our Facebook page for details

Read-A-Thon

This year we are introducing a Read-A-Thon as part of Willy Reads! You will be able to download our log sheet to track minutes with your children. We want to encourage reading everyday.  For the class with the most minutes we have a trophy and bragging rights for the rest of the year for each division (Kinders, Juniors (1-3) and Seniors (4-6)). We will also have a prize for each grade. Everyone who reaches the recommended reading time for their grade will be put into the draw to win a gift card from Ella Minnow. More details will be on our Facebook page.

Donations to the Children Book Bank

We will be collecting gently used books to donate to the Children’s Book Bank.

The Children’s Book Bank is a registered charity that supports childhood literacy by providing free books and literacy support to children in high needs neighbourhoods in Toronto. You can find out more about how they serve the community at www.childrensbookbank.com

During the week of Feb 22, contactless drop-off bins will be located at the front (kindergarten) entrance of the school, as well as in the backyard. They will be clearly marked for BOOK DONATIONS. Books can be new or used (gently) but should be suitable for kids 12 and under, and have been published within the last 10 years. Please do not include text books, magazines or damaged books.

Design your own bookmark

Get into the reading frame of mind by colouring a bookmark, or design your own! You can use this template, or just freehand your own design on a piece of paper!
