Our school is looking for innovative ways to increase literacy and SOL reading scores.  Our school is also looking for ways to increase parental and community involvement.  We want to make reading fun for families to do together.

It is important to get families and the community involved in curriculum related activities.  A great way to get involved is by  volunteering to help students read on family reading nights and assisting with the Books For Game Night.  Community financial donations for games and gaming systems for our special event are necessary and welcomed.  Please see our school book keeper for donation procedures.  Any and all financial help is greatly appreciated!!
