WHAT IS READING NIGHT
Reading a great story is fun, but imagine experiencing the story come to life!
FUN | INSPIRATION | CONNECTION
When children are immersed in activities involving reading, singing, talking, writing and playing, they are forging the building blocks of literacy!
This is what Reading Night is all about! Beloved children's stories brought to life through engaging activities & experiences!
Designed specifically for children Pre-K to 5th grade, Reading Night features stories and activities guaranteed to create lasting memories!
Building off the success of Reading Night 2022 "Passport To Fun", we are excited to bring together students and family in a celebration of community and the joy of reading!
We look forward to seeing you on May 17th!
Sincerely, Chisago Lakes PTO Reading Night Coordinator --Tanya Paine
Reading Night 2023 Committee -- Heather Christopherson, Tressa Dokken, Kelsey Grue, Jennifer Olson, Michelle Pommier, Brigitte Rogers, Katie Strom
