Ready to read!

Every February, students around the Division keep a book close at hand for I Love to Read Month. After all, you never know when you might get the call to “stop, drop and read.”

To kick off the month’s festivities, Greenway School welcomed a trio of guest readers: Winnipeg School Division Board Chair Rita Hildahl, Education Minister Nancy Allan and Manitoba Teachers’ Society President Paul Olson.

Ms. Hildahl said I Love to Read Month promotes early childhood interest in reading and highlights the importance of literacy skills throughout life.

“Reading helps us to learn, it gives us new ideas, it helps us solve problems, to write fluently and think carefully,” she told students. “I hope you students will always read as much as you possibly can.”
