“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”

by Roald Dahl

Each family is receiving a copy of our All School Read with a book mark sharing our reading schedule and school wide ACTIVE Reading Strategies. We are excited to join together as a Lacamas Community to read this classic story celebrating its 50^th Birthday with us! After reading for the month of October, November 7^th we will host our Family Reading Night. This will be a special event where we will come together, participate in some reading activities, visit the Book Fair and wrap up our All School Read event by showing the original “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” movie.

Spend the month of October Reading with Lacamas!

Thank you to everyone who sponsored a student and volunteered for our event!

Featured on our Lacamas Art Wall is Mrs. Norgard’s 2nd graders Self-Portraits. Stop by to view their work inspired by the book, “Finding the Green Stone.” Each month we will feature our own local, Lacamas artist!
