Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop described books as windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors. Through reading, kids see themselves reflected in books, and they see into the hearts and minds of others. In MNPS, we celebrate Read Across America during the month of March by connecting students with a variety of guest readers and activities to celebrate the power that reading has to expand our hearts and minds.
Our love for reading never ends in MNPS, and at Westmeade, and we are proud of the many ways our teachers, librarians, and students connect through the power of story all year long.
At Westmeade, we held a virtual Family Story Night centered around Yuyi Morales' book Dreamers. We read, we laughed, we danced and we drew!!
We also had guest readers courtesy of the GRAND (Greeks Reading Across Nashville Day) program, a virtual book character parade, and LOTS of reading!!!
