Dear Belmont Families,

We are very excited to be hosting a Belmont Family Literacy Night on Thurday, November 14th!

This is a free parent involvement event where you come to the school with your children in the evening from 5:30-7:00 and have fun learning about literacy with your child.

5:30 - Overview of the importance of literacy, and what literacy practice looks like at-school and at-home
5:45 Families visit classrooms to explore a variety of literacy activities.
6:45 Closing remarks in the gym and door prizes
7:00 Popsicles to-go!

Families will leave with some reading and writing tools along with anything they’ve explored during the sessions and helpful tip for reading at home.

If you are interested in attending our literacy evening on Thursday, November 14th, please fill out the information below and return it to the school by Thursday, November 7th.

If you want to help…

The door prize component of the evening is always very fun for the children. We have gathered a few door prizes, but could sure use any donations!! It doesn’t have to be related to Literacy. It could be a toy, puzzle, kite or anything that you think a child would like. If you are able to donate any new items for a door prize or know of someone who runs a business and can donate something, please let your child’s teacher know as soon as possible! We appreciate in advance your support of this great evening!!!
Sincerely,
Belmont Literacy Committee
