ALL Junior, Middle, AND Senior Students have the opportunity to dress up for Book Week.
Students are encouraged to dress up as a character from a book that they love and are familiar with, either fiction or non-fiction. THIS IS NOT MOVIE WEEK. Students will need to bring the book from home, the college library, or a local library so they can share it with another child to explain why they find it interesting. The goal is to inspire each other to read.
The holidays will be a great opportunity to have a discussion with your child! Find out what they love to read and why, or, guide them to explore new authors and genres. The focus here is to understand the book, the character and encourage each other to read. The best costumes are usually the ones created by the child from things at home. Have fun being creative. Don't feel pressured to make a "flash" costume! Pinterest or Google images can be sources of inspiration. Please ensure your child is comfortable in their costume.
What character will you pick? Need inspiration? Now is a good time to check the Library for inspiration. Need help finding a book? The Library Staff are very happy to give you ideas!
