While they’re busy exploring new worlds, they’re also giving their brains a major boost. Did you know reading has these incredible benefits?
Stress Relief: Just 6 minutes of reading can lower stress levels by 68%! It’s the ultimate way to unwind after a busy school day. 🧘♂️
Vocabulary Growth: Students who read for 20 minutes a day encounter nearly 2 million words a year! That’s a massive head start for their communication skills. 🗣️
Keep up the amazing work, MES! Every page turned is a step toward a brighter (and calmer) mind. 🧠💪
Keep an eye out for more information coming home in your child’s backpack soon.
A big thank you to our PE teachers, Mrs. Mazzola and Mr. Avoli for organizing such a fun event for our students! 👟
Reading isn’t just about school—it’s about opening doors to new worlds! 🌍✨
To celebrate National Reading Month, our PTA Read-a-Thon starts today and will run all week!
We are challenging every student to spend one hour a day getting lost in a book!
