SAM happily welcomed Toronto author Lesley Livingston last Wednesday, January 15, as SAM hosted our first Literacy Night. Parents and students were able to learn about reading and writing strategies for both the English and French streams. In addition there was a presentation on how to help motivate students to read more. The climax of the evening was a presentation by Lesley in the library where she spoke to an audience of about 50 people.
Lesley shared with us some of her journey as a writer, but more importantly she spoke about the importance of reading within her own life and career.
The evening was a great success. Families left with prizes of books and games, and the wonderful taste of cookies and hot chocolate.
We hope to do this again next year.
