The St. John School has been hosting an annual Reading Fair since 2001. This gathering brings students, parents, teachers, and community members together to promote summer reading and to celebrate the end of the school year.
It is also a way for organizations that serve the community's families to be able to connect with them. Social Service Agencies, Public Health Services, Extension Services, and Colleges are just a few of the agencies that were represented.
Staff members also set up booths with games that reflect the theme of the fair. This year’s theme was “Carnival” and vendors were encouraged to have games and food that reflected a circus, or fair midway and food court.
The staples of the fair are the wagon rides and the petting zoo; and burgers and hotdogs on the grill are always a hit.
This year’s event had an all-time-high attendance of over 450 people.
Congratulations, St. John Public School, on your successful end-of-year reading celebration!
