Aarrgh Mateys! Literacy Night at Diggs-Latham was an exciting night of fun as families followed a treasure map around the school to complete tasks and engage in reading-related activities.
“Students and their families had a great time. We received so much positive feedback as families completed the treasure hunt of literacy,” shared Principal Dr. Cassandra Dobson.
Annually, Diggs-Latham holds curriculum nights that invite parents to visit the school and review what their children are learning. As the committee met to plan this year’s Literacy Night, they decided to mix things up and make it as engaging and collaborative as possible.
As families arrived in a lobby decorated with pirate flags, seashells, and driftwood, they signed in and received a treasure map that led them to stops and stations around the school. Points of interest on the map included the book fair, their grade level classes, and literacy games in the gym.The night ended with a storybook character costume contest. First prize went to a student who made his own miniature treehouse statue to represent the book The Magic Treehouse. Other winners included Stitch, a Crocodile, and Spider-Man. A few staff members were dressed in pirate-like attire, and everyone left with a wealth of treasure in the form of knowledge, books, and an enjoyable time of learning.
