Sheckler Elementary’s Literacy Night was held March 2. Students were invited back to school for a reading-centric evening filled with activities, sweet treats and basket raffles.
Students came dressed as storybook characters from “Stranger Things,” “Holes” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” There were even Dr. Seuss characters!
The Literacy Night event included a book phrase bingo in the library, the Scholastic book fair, Blondies cupcakes and activities and games in each grade-level pod. There was also a guest reader dressed as a unicorn who read unicorn-themed stories to students.
All activities and games focused on reading, as the students were celebrating Read Across America Week in their classrooms.
Families were seen cheerfully exploring the elementary school - laughing, smiling and having an absolute blast.
