Pius XII Catholic Elementary School's Early Learners Celebrate Family Literacy Day

Drayden, a S.K. student from Pius XII is chosen as Will Morin's assistant during storytime at the Family Literacy Day celebration.

January 19, 2010 - Students from Pius XII Elementary Catholic School's J.K. and S.K. classes, as well as children from the Maple Tree Preschool and the Pius Best Start Hub were invited to celebrate Family Literacy Day in the school's library on January 19, 2010. Aboriginal Artist and Storyteller William Morin engaged the children in animated stories and had them participate using actions and costumes. Parents were also invited to be a part of the celebration. After the story, the students went back to the classroom and made their own masks inspired by the day.
