Some of the greatest determinants for future success is our ability to listen, read, and speak well.
When schools closed in March, libraries did too.
Light of Christ Catholic Schools administrators and staff knew that if children were to come back prepared for in class learning, that they would need access to books as well as other materials.
As a result, #LOCCSLovesReading was born.
Teachers, principals, division office staff, support staff, and even the Director of Education, Mr. Cory Rideout, selected their favourite books for and read them for children. At noon on Monday-Friday each week, anyone can check the LOCCS Twitter and Facebook pages to find a new story.
In addition to staff participation, Mme Southgate’s class from École Monseigneur Blaise Morand, contributed to the online videos. The students had been working on them throughout the school year and so #LOCCSLovesReading gave them an opportunity to highlight their work.
In the event that this is the first that you are hearing about this project, do not worry, the story links remain on Facebook @loccsd.ca and on Twitter @LightofChristCS. Stories will continue to be provided at noon on Monday-Friday until June 16th.
LOCCS encourages everyone, no matter your age, to stop, drop everything, and read or listen to a book daily. We promise that it will make a difference for your future!
