McVey and Parkway elementary schools each recently held “a celebration of reading” event at Barnes & Noble Booksellers in Carle Place as part of their annual Parents as Reading Partners program. The festivities were sponsored by PTA members from their respective schools and offered an opportunity for administrators and teachers to read their favorite books to students. In addition the children were allowed to browse for books in the vast wonderland of literature at the Barnes & Nobles book store.
The fun-filled evenings included a scavenger hunt, a station where students could create their own bookmark and musical performances by the schools’ bands and orchestras. Lending to the festive atmosphere, many students dressed up as their favorite storybook characters.
Thank you to the McVey and Parkway PTAs for making these events memorable for everyone in attendance.
