Canon-Mac's Sixth-
Annual Literacy Night
Wows Participants
M
ore than 250 Canon-
McMillan students and their
parents recently enjoyed a
"Reading Safari" held late last month
at the Frank Sarris Public Library.
Reading and literacy skills were
the primary focus of the sixth-
annual event,
sponsored
jointly by
the Canon-
McMillan
School
District and
the Canon-
McMillan
Education
Association.
Students in kindergarten through
fourth grade were invited to attend—
and rotated through various learning
stations designed and run by Canon-
Mac teachers, as well as students in
grades 7-12.
In addition to receiving a free book,
all participants were able to choose
from an assortment of coloring
books, puzzles, and other small prizes.
Elementary principals read safari-
themed stories to students and
donated the books they read to the
children’s department at the library.
Canonsburg Middle School students
shared original stories they wrote and
illustrated.
Members of the sorority Pi Phi
from Washington & Jefferson College
created safari masks and necklaces
with students.
To top off the night, students were
treated to “safari sundaes” from Sarris
Candies.
Congratulations to all involved
for another successful event!
