School district holds Celebration of Reading
The Wells-Ogunquit Community School District recently held its annual Celebration of Reading Day event.
The first part of the event at Wells Junior High School was a “read-aloud” in fifth-grade classrooms. Several nonfiction picture books, about people who overcame adversity, were purchased by the Wells Rotary Club, read to students and later donated to the school library.
The next day at Wells Elementary School featured over 40 guest readers from the community and the district, visiting classrooms.
