After a yearlong hiatus, C.W. Dillard Elementary brought back an evening of reading fun with Family Reading Night held Thursday, April 8. Students in grades kindergarten through sixth and their families were invited to the event to encourage a love of books and reading. Parent Brandy Duncan was the event coordinator.
Students gathered in the campus multipurpose room and kicked off the evening by reciting “The Library Poem,” led by Dillard Elementary librarian Kathy Schmitt. Snacks and beverages were available for all as the students settled down on mats to enjoy the reading of "A Twisted Tale" by featured reader Principal Clark Burke.
His animated recitation later in the night of “The True Story of the Three Pigs” by author Jon Scieszka was well received by the students who giggled at the comical tale told in the voice of the Big Bad Wolf.
Students were given a packet with fun word and writing activities, and the Dillard Elementary PTA generously provided raffle prizes of new books for the students. The age-appropriate books were from the California Department of Education reading list.
