Storm Lake St. Mary's School

The Family Literacy Night held Thursday, March 30th at Storm Lake St. Mary's brought parents, grandparents, students and educators together for a night of reading, learning and fun.

The event was coordinated by St. Mary's PK-5th grade principal, Kate Swanson, and teachers, who wanted to ensure that the St. Mary’s parents left with creative ideas and strategies to support literacy, as well as tools and tactics they can utilize to spark interest and encourage their children to engage with reading and books.

Eventgoers split up into breakout sessions where they participated in a scavenger hunt, camping crafts, letter scrambles, a story by the fire and ended the night with flashlight reading.

The night culminated in a lot of laughs, as well as a few extra books checked out of the library for some weekend reading!
