Lynbrook West End School Kicks Off PARP Program

Lynbrook's kicked off it's annual Parents As Reading Partners (PARP) program with "Discover the Magic of Reading" event last Thursday.

Magic Beyond Imagination incorporated the fun of reading into a show for students and families. A wonderful night was shared by students, families, and even Principal Alison Puliatte who took part in the show. 

PARP is meant to encourage parents to read together with children each day during the week and involves guest readers from the community. This year's theme is Dive Into Reading. Each child signs a contract stating their participation and keeps a reading log.

There are also daily activities for students to have fun with. Each evening of reading and each activity completed counts as 1 point. All children who accumulate at least 10 points win a prize.

On Friday, Feb. 3, the program will conclude with a visit from authors Dan Greenburg of "The Zack Files" and "The Secret of the Dripping Fang" series and Judith Greenburg of "Andrew Lost" series. Both authors will come to West End to work with the children.

During the week be sure to visit the When West End students take out a book they will be given a raffle ticket. A drawing will be held on Friday, February 3.
