Celebrity Read for March

Posted by bookend on February 13, 2006




  In conjunction with the NEA’s Read Across America program (Dr. Suess’s birthday), Fairview will sponsor a Celebrity Read for the Month of March.  Students are encouraged to invite a celebrity to school to read a selection or passage to a class.  Teachers will choose the times that they would welcome a reader and the LMC will arrange with the celebrity the time, date and classroom.  We will provide the book, if the reader desires help.
The term “celebrity” is to be viewed from a student’s perspective of anyone important in their life.  A celebrity may be a grandparent, a neighbor, or a family friend who is important to the child.  The only requirement is that the celebrity can read to a class or tell a story from their past.
