Literacy Night was a wonderful event! Preston Thorne and Langston Moore were our guest speakers. They are former football players who are exceptional authors and motivational speakers.  The message to parents tonight went right along with the Profile of the SC Graduate and the MES mission which is to empower students to reach their greatest potential.  They talked about how teaching children to communicate is important.  Have them order their own food, or speak up for themselves.  They also encouraged parents to get rid of the word "good."   Ask your child deeper questions when they get home and don't accept the word "good."  Hold them accountable in expanding their adjectives and vocabulary.     Also, they gave parents an assignment.  Ask your child their favorite YouTuber and go home and look up that person.  Know what they are looking at. We live in a digital age and we must keep up with them.  One quote that stood out, was "Skills pay the Bills."  We have to teach them these skills at home and school.  Reading is important every day. He gave parents some strategies on how to read with their children.  Thank you everyone for coming out tonight!  

Have a great weekend.  Be sure to come to our PTO and LIteracy NIght next week.  

We are looking forward to this event! Mark your calendars!
