Hello Reed City Families,

As we approach March, which is National Reading Month, I wanted to draw your attention to Adventure Awaits!  It’s a month-long initiative occurring at G.T. Norman, where students have chosen more than 25 national parks for exploration.  Students will “travel” to the 50 states and each day will participate in a variety of activities designed to foster a love of reading while learning about nature, the great outdoors, and the beauty of our 50 states.  Students will read “under the stars,” take a trip to the RCAPS woods, and kick back in hammocks and camping chairs.  Students will enjoy smores during one of the adventures.

In addition to all the activities associated with Adventure Awaits, our local Masonic Lodge has donated Bikes for Books that will be given away at the end of March, and our G.T. Norman PTO has sponsored additional camping-related giveaways for our students.  On March 11, we are hosting a Family Night at G.T. Norman from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. to get a flavor for our students’ adventures, enjoy dinner and read together.  Reading month is going to be extra special this year!

Have a great day!

Sincerely,

Mike Sweet, Superintendent
