Every year the Title 1 Parenting Facilitators in the system put on a large-scale family project. It marks and opportunity for students and families to come together and learn about the community and services available to them, as well as learn about the positive things going on in the Taylor School District. Local agencies are also involved and set up tables to highlight their own organization's work in the area of literacy.
The luau will feature face painting, Ronald McDonald, free popcorn, balloon animals, prizes and giveaways, a photo booth, games, a free bagged dinner and student performances. Parents can purchase books for children from the Scholastic Book Fair.
Doors are open between 4:30-7:30 p.m. Exhibits and activities run from 4:30 to 7:15 p.m. Family workshop sessions are scheduled at 5:30 and 6:15 (and are closed when full).
Workshop topics include:
- Journaling your life
- Storyteller Ivory Williams
- Reading with your child by Dr. Mary Bigler (you can purchase books that evening)
- Learn to make balloon animals
- Create a project with Home Depot
There is also a Title 1 parent meeting and door prizes to be drawn at 7:15 p.m.
Is this for the entire district? All ages??
ReplyDeleteThis event is open to all ages and everyone in the district, but does emphasis elementary literacy.
