Workshops gave Elementary School students a head start for success in the Reading Fair

New Albany Elementary School hosted a Family Reading Fair Workshop on Thursday, January 12. Students and their families received tips on how to create a reading fair board, looked at sample boards, and were given the opportunity to ask teachers questions about the judging process. Fourteen families attended the event that was sponsored by the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program. NAES teachers Balinda Denton and Angela Victory coordinated the event.
