Read Across the Prairie is the GPISD initiative for the 2006-2007 school year. All students and staff are encouraged to participate in reading for FUN! The GPISD Librarians are sponsoring many activities this year including:
- signing pledge cards to read for FUN
- wearing Read Across the Prairie dog tags
- wearing Read Across the Prairie t-shirt.
At Zavala, our reading contests and programs come under the READ ACROSS the PRAIRIE banner. Coming events include Children's Book Week...November 13-17. Classes are encouraged to participate in "Flashlight Reading in the Library". We will have a special visit from a real Panhandle cowboy, composer, musician, and children's book author, Rooster Morris. He is scheduled to visit November 14th. |
