Photos: Elliot Primary Men’s Reading Challenge

Elliot Primary School held their annual 250 Men’s Reading Challenge on Friday [May 9] with fathers, uncles, grandfathers and volunteers spending part of their day reading with the students.

At 10:45 am, several eager readers arrived on the campus of Elliot Primary, and at 11 am, the men arrived in droves taking over  the campus. Men and students could be seen sitting under tents, on benches, lying on the grass, sitting under trees and some even read on rocking swings.

Elliot’s Literacy Coordinator and Coach Ms. Pauletta Francis said, “It’s an awesome experience for everyone Every year we challenge the men to come and they do. From the bottom of my heart, I say a special thank you. Stay tuned for more great literacy initiatives from Elliot Primary. We’ve only just begun.”

Men and children could be seen all over the school property, with some taking their books and sitting outside to enjoy the day’s weather, while others settled down inside.
