Rogers Kicks off March Reading Month

On Friday, March 1st, Rogers Elementary held its annual March is Reading Month kickoff assembly. This year’s Rogers Reading Month theme is Paws to Read. At the assembly, Rogers' staff surprised the students by performing a play that centered around the students’ profound love for reading with an animal theme. Narrated by a cat, who was a reading enthusiast, the play featured three villains scheming against Rogers while wondering what makes the children so joyful. Along the way, the villains discovered the students’ happiness stemmed from their passion for reading. 

Students in the crowd participated in the play by singing along to the musical numbers. The Rogers’ student council added an action item to the March is Reading month theme, asking students and families to donate to animals in need. The Student Council is collecting items such as snacks, blankets and food to donate at the end of the month.

This reading month play kickoff sets the stage for a month filled with activities and events at Rogers Elementary, all in celebration of the joy of reading.
