We celebrated “Love of Reading Week” here at LPS and we made sure to not only show our love of reading, but to do it with enthusiasm! The ELA team collaborated together to create themes for each day of the week to add to the fun and positive school culture aspect of this week. Monday’s theme was “Sock it to Distractions”, where students and staff not only pledged to turn off all distractions to focus on a good book, but got to show off their craziest socks throughout the day as an added bonus! The snow day on Tuesday had us pick back up with our week on Wednesday. The theme was “Read Across America”. Everyone came in wearing a shirt or sweatshirt from one of their favorite places they had visited. Throughout the day, students were excited to answer questions about the places they are representing and it was interesting to see how many people coincidentally chose the same location to represent! Thursday was “Get Cozy with a Book”. Students came to school wearing their pajamas to have an extra cozy independent reading time in ELA. Pajama days are a big fan favorite theme for spirit days, so this day was sure to be a hit! Friday we had an especially fun theme, “Get Wild About Reading!” Everyone got to choose between wearing animal-printed clothing or wearing mismatched clothing. It was like a jungle here at LPS with all the different animal prints ranging from zebras to leopards and all of the mismatched outfits! This day was the biggest hit in terms of enjoyment and laughs. Our week extended to the following week due to the weather and we ended our reading celebration with “We’re well REaD”. To show our love for reading and the great adventures it takes us on, the school was filled with staff and students wearing red. It was appropriate that we ended a very successful spirit week here at Andover by wearing Charger red! Great job ELA team on a great Spirit Week!
