麻豆视频鈥檚 First Community Reading Fest
麻豆视频 hosted its very first Reading Fest on Thursday, April 21st, 2022. This event ran from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm in the Hawks Nest. Children and their parents/guardians came to enjoy the fun of reading. Many students and staff volunteered for the event to make sure the children had a blast!
Guest readers read several books including 鈥淎 Bad Case of Stripes,鈥� 鈥淭he Rainbow Fish,鈥� and 鈥淢y Family Plays Music.鈥� Stations were set up around the Hawks Nest with fun activities for the children to take part in. There were hula hoops, coloring pages, musical instruments, and a parachute for the kids to enjoy, all while creating a culture for reading!
The event was complete with a free dinner consisting of beverages, chips, and hot dogs. The goal of the event was to encourage children to read by demonstrating that reading is fun. It included a book giveaway for reading levels PK-6. Chowan looks forward to engaging with the community and fostering a love of reading in young students more in the future!
