National Children's Book Week is an age-old tradition. Celebrated since 1919, it is devoted to spreading the word about children's literature and encouraging the love of reading. Annually, the week before Thanksgiving, Liberty County Schools applaud books and reading by coming up with ideas to mark this special event.
Celebrating Book Week at Frank Long Elementary:
During Children’s Book Week, the top point earners for each grade with an 85% goal will have an extra special lunch with Mr. Carrier on Friday, December 4th(as calculated by Accelerated Reader). And best of all, they will get to bring their teachers along!
(There will be a minimum of 8 points required for this activity; kindergarten will need 1.5 points.)
