"Read Like Royalty" School Wide Reading Program 2009-2010 At Ford, we have an At-Home Reading Program which encourages our K-2 students to read a minimum of 60 minutes a week and our 3-5 students to read a minimum of 80 minutes a week. Activities are based around our theme.
Vicky Silva designed and constructed our reading castle.
Chris Oser built the drawbridge...
and Connie Morris sewed the thrones! We love our Ford Elementary Parent Volunteers!
_______________________________________________________________________ 2008-2009 Chill Out With a Good Book! School Wide Reading Program
In 2008-09, our reading theme was "Chill Out with a Book!" Parent volunteers Vicky Silva, B.J. Macmillan, Beth Purcell, Brenda Oser, and others constructed an igloo for our students to crawl into and read. Vicky Silva headed the project. Many thanks to Oak Farms Dairy who donated and delivered over 550 milk jugs for us to use!

Watch Dog Dads
We have wonderful dads who come and help out at school. We love having them come to the library and read!

Treasures Under the Tree
During the holidays, special books are placed under the Christmas tree. Students choose a holiday book that the teacher reads to the class. Special holiday boxes are used to wrap the books before they are taken to the classroom, making it a fun surprise reading!
