Service - Grade 6 Taking Part in Students Rebuild Literacy Challenge

During the month of February, grade 6 LA students took part in a global literacy challenge sponsored by Students Rebuild.  The challenge encouraged students to create bookmarks which will be given to students taking part in the literacy project run by Save the Children in Mali and Peru.  For each bookmark, one US dollar was also contributed to the challenge.  Our students had a lot of fun while also learning about the issues of literacy and why it is so important to know how to read.  As one of our students said "reading allows you to think for yourself."
