Ahkwesahsne Mohawk School Kicks Off Reading Campaign of School Year 2017-2018

Students from the Ahkwesahsne Mohawk School kicked-off their Success For All reading program by touring the world. The school's 2017-2018 theme is "Oh The Places You Will Go, When You Read," which is an adaptation on the beloved Dr. Seuss book. As a part of the reading program each student at AMS is expected to read 20 minutes on school nights. By completing this goal the students will be reminded of all the places that they can visit, experience and explore through books.

To demonstrate just some of the places students can visit in literature, each homeroom picked a country. Throughout the week leading up to the reading kick-off each class enjoyed learning interesting facts and tidbits about the country of their choosing. Friday was the grand finale, and the classes performed a parade of nations with the student body getting into the spirit as many students were carrying their country's flag and wearing their chosen nation's colours. It was an enjoyable afternoon and the students are excited to explore the world around them right in their own living rooms!
