Jessie Brockel, a local author and Mental Health Therapist, visited the Selby Area Elementary school today for “Read Across America” week. She read her story “Bailey Braves New Beginnings,” which is about Bailey, who is experiencing a new adventure and the feelings that come along with it. She also did activities in each classroom and taught the students some coping strategies for those big feelings.
We are excited to announce that Book Blast is coming to Selby Area School next week!
Book Blast is a fun and engaging reading initiative designed to help build home libraries for our students. Throughout the week, students will participate in activities that promote a love of reading while also having the opportunity to earn books for their personal collections.
Information packets will be sent home with students explaining how families can participate. There is no obligation to purchase anything — the goal is to encourage reading and provide opportunities for students to add new books to their homes.
We encourage you to review the materials together and help your child complete the simple steps outlined in the packet. It’s a great way to reinforce the importance of literacy and celebrate reading as a family.
Thank you for supporting our students and helping us foster a strong reading culture at Selby Area School!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Schroeder or your child's teacher.
