Scotch Plains-Fanwood Elementary and Middle Schools Participate in Read Across America Week
All five elementary schools participated in many exciting activities to celebrate Read Across America Week. Whether it was wearing pajamas to school, crazy hair day, performing random acts of kindness or taking part in a number of Dr. Seuss activities, our elementary students, parents, teachers, Board of Education members, as well as members of our community, found fun ways to promote their love of reading.
Park Middle School’s PA.L.S. students (Peer and Leadership Support) walked over to School One and Terrill Middle School P.A.L.S. students visited J.A. Coles to read to the younger students.
