Dive into fun (and a great book!) with Reading Week at Warwick Neck Elementary! Starting Monday, May 13th and running through Friday, May 17th, enjoy daily events promoting a love and excitement for reading!
(As is our tradition, the Reading Week theme coincides with our school year theme. The 2024 School Year them of "Under the Sea" has led to a Reading Week theme of "Diving into Reading!" Thank you to our Reading Specialist, Mrs. Renzi, and School Librarian, Mrs. Chapman, for spearheading a wonderful week!)
