On March 14, Griffith Elementary School held its second annual "Family Literacy Night."
Hundreds of students and family members came to celebrate reading with teachers and other staff members, said Cynthia Needham, the media coordinator. Those attending traveled through the event using a ‘reading passport,’ stopping to shop at the Book Fair, or catch a picture with the Winston-Salem DASH mascot, Bolt, or participate in a literacy game or read-aloud with students majoring in education at Salem College.
“Families also had the opportunity to learn more about free programs offered at the Forsyth County Public Libraries and apply for a public library card,” Needham said. “Texas Roadhouse was there, too, with their mascot, Andy the Armadillo! Andy was passing out bookmarks for free meals to those students who read three books this month!
"No problem for our reading bulldogs! The Griffith Literacy Committee along with the Family Involvement Committee gave away draw-string back packs with the word "READ" printed on them in five different languages! Parents also received helpful handouts that included tips and tools to try at home with their struggling readers.”
