Bowley Elementary Celebrates Read Across America Month with Fun and Creativity
March was a month of excitement and literary adventures at Bowley Elementary as students and staff celebrated Read Across America Week with a series of engaging and creative events. The school community came together to foster a love for reading, all while having a blast!
One of the highlights of the month was the Masked Readers event, inspired by the popular show The Masked Singer. Teachers and staff donned elaborate costumes and read stories to the students, who then had to guess the identity of the masked readers. The students' enthusiasm and detective skills were put to the test as they eagerly tried to uncover who was behind each mask.
In addition to the Masked Readers, students participated in a bookmark decorating contest. The creativity on display was astounding, with each student designing a unique bookmark. These beautiful creations were then compiled into a school book, showcasing the artistic talents of Bowley Elementary's young readers.
The excitement didn't stop there! Bowley Elementary faced off against Dever Elementary in the "March Madness" reading challenge. Using online books, students from both schools competed to see who could read the most. The friendly competition motivated students to dive into their favorite stories and discover new ones while fostering camaraderie and school spirit.
Throughout the month, Bowley Elementary also celebrated multiple theme days, adding an extra layer of fun to the festivities. From Crazy Hat Day to Dress as Your Favorite Storybook Character Day, students and staff alike enjoyed dressing up and showing off their school pride.
Dr. Raymond Burk expressed his pride in the students' participation and enthusiasm, saying, "Bobcats Believe, Bobcats Achieve." This motto truly encapsulated the spirit of the month, as students demonstrated their love for reading and their commitment to achieving their best.
Read Across America Week at Bowley Elementary was a resounding success, leaving students with cherished memories and a renewed passion for reading. Here's to many more literary adventures in the future!
