“Slide into Reading” Update: Taylor Tigers read for 53 961 minutes!

The Taylor Tigers are into week 4 of their Winter Reading Challenge! Students track their minutes reading at home on a reading log and submit it weekly for 4 weeks. After two weeks of reading at home, students and staff collectively have a total of 53 961 minutes!

During Family Literacy Week, a morning was dedicated to a school-wide Read and Feed. The PAC provided a pancake breakfast and students spent the morning reading. We participated in a school-wide Buddy Read, that was sponsored by the Fort St. John Literacy Society. Following the school-wide Buddy Read prizes were provided by the Fort St. John Literacy Society. The Siberian Tigers won a pizza lunch for all 30 of their team members, this was a District draw.
