Family Literacy Night




What an exciting night it was at Evansville Christian School on Thursday, April 21 as we celebrated Family Literacy Night. The evening was full of food and fun. Parents and students enjoyed carnival snacks (popcorn, snow cones, and cotton candy), puppet shows, story times, face painting, taking A.R. tests, and browsing the book fair. Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who helped make the book fair and the literacy night such a success. Our book fair proceeds will be used to begin replacing our current desk tops with new all-in-one units for A.R. and research usage.

This tool is extremely easy for kids to use and makes project development interactive as well as fun.
