The SMK8 First Annual
Literacy Festival was held on Thursday, October 20th from 5:30 to 7:30. The purpose of the event was to
promote literacy, build family-school connections, and to build community
support with local churches, businesses, community organizations, and classroom
teachers. The Family Literacy Festival provided many opportunities for children and
families to engage in activities that promoted reading, writing, and rich literacy learning experiences. The event communicated the important message of “Families That Read Together, Succeed Together"! We would like to thank our literacy coach, Dr. Wanda Green-Adams, our teachers, and community members who worked hard to make this literacy event such a success for our students and families at SMK8!
