Annual Family Literacy Day

Family Literacy Day is an event that is aimed at children from pre-K through Grade 6 and their families and is designed to celebrate the joys of reading. The primary focus of the event is Reading Circles, hosted by various ĢƵ campus groups. Children also have the opportunity to play literacy games, make crafts, grab some snacks, and even win prizes! All children leave with a new book thanks to our partnership with .
Family Literacy Day is designed to serve as a celebration of the year's activities, giving the children and student participants of the ongoing programs a chance to have fun and reflect on their accomplishments. It also serves as a way of encouraging additional ĢƵ students, faculty and staff to get involved in the literacy effort in our community, and it provides a way for ĢƵ to give back in a small way to the community of which it is a part and from whom it receives so much.
ĢƵ's Family Literacy Day is possible through multiple partnerships, including Dollar General's Family Literacy Grant, Metro Parks, service-learning classes at ĢƵ, multiple ĢƵ student organizations, and Book'em.
