S-E wraps up PARP month

SHERBURNE – To celebrate the end of a three-week reading program, the students and teachers at Sherburne-Earlville Elementary School held an assembly last week that featured songs from around the world.

For the past three weeks, students have been reading books about different countries as part of the Parents as Reading Partners (PARP) program. Following the theme “reading around the world,” students were given a reading passport and were encouraged to read for at least 15 minutes a day, three days a week with a partner. The passport contained the names of the seven continents, so students could keep track of their books’ settings.
