On the afternoon of Thursday, April 6th, our entire school population came together to close out and celebrate our March is Reading Month festivities! This year, all families at Glengary were given a copy of the book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. Students were encouraged to read as many minutes as they could and upon returning their reading calendars each week, they were awarded various pieces to add to various Charlie and the Chocolate Factory themed bulletin boards throughout our school. All students who returned their calendars at the end of the month were able to turn themselves into an Oompa Loompa and add it to our hallway display! During the closing ceremony, all students were given a Wonka Bar and one student from every class found a golden ticket and won the sequel to the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book, titled Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. While the students enjoyed their chocolate bars, some of the Glengary staff read the final chapters aloud to the students. This was truly a wonderful culmination to March is Reading Month!
