Read Across America Week 2024

 Read Across America Week 2024

Read Across America 2024 at OES

During the week of February 26 - March 1, we will celebrate “Reading Is For Everyone” with special activities at Oakland.

Monday: Let's celebrate that reading is relaxing.

Activity: Dress in your jammies to get cozy when you read today.

Tuesday: Let's celebrate that reading is amazing... and so are you!

Activity: Wear mismatched socks to celebrate how our differences make us unique.

Wednesday: Let's celebrate that reading is entertaining.

Activity: Dress up as your favorite book character (school appropriate).

Thursday: Let's celebrate that reading is active.

Activity: Dress up to celebrate how you like to be active (exercise clothing or team jersey). Reading “jogs” our minds.

Friday: Let's celebrate that reading makes our future bright.

Activity: Wear neon colors or your favorite OES shirt because our students have a bright future ahead!

Students will also receive a special bookmark during their library visit, and classrooms will participate in a book ornament activity. We are looking forward to a fun-filled week.

   We are excited about our upcoming fall Book Fair!  Students that bring money (most books are at least $5) will be able to shop at the book fair during their class’s weekly scheduled library time.  The fair will run for one week, from October 16 - 20.  SALES TAX MUST BE ADDED TO PURCHASES!  Unfortunately, parents will not be able to shop with their children during the school day unless you sign up to volunteer for a time slot through our PTO and have completed a District Two background check.  However, if you would like to shop with your child, the fair will be open to families during Parent/Teacher Conferences on TUESDAY, 10/17 from 2:00-5:30 pm.   In addition, an online shopping option is available from October 12^th – 25^th at https://www.scholastic.com/bf/oaklandelem. You can also add money to your child’s eWallet at this OES Scholastic site (see back of this flyer for info on the eWallet).  Please make sure that you are linked to Oakland when you shop online.  We appreciate your support of our Scholastic Book Fair!
