To become a reader, every child (every student) needs a hero.
A Perfect Mission Statement: Our school is a sanctuary for students, staff and parents.
A Focus/objective - Our school will make "reading" our focus this year. The collective goal of our staff and our parent support body will be to promote reading in everyone of our students.
Our plan
To learn to read, Maria taught three pre-requisites.
1. Time
2. A hero
3. Books.
Heroes
Children (as do we all) need a hero to guide them along the path of becoming readers They will do as you do and not as you say.
There will be a designated time everyday where absolutely everyone within the school premises will read. Call it DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) or START (Students and Teachers All Read Together)…or what you may but that period of time is sacred. Who will read? The principal and vice-principle. The office staff. The custodial staff. All teachers and teacher assistants. Any and every visitor who chose to be in our school during that allocated time. Signs will be posted at the doors of entry stating that our school is inaccessible during this time period and that if the need is great, this is the phone number of our principal who will take your call but will prefer you call back at a later time.
