📚🏕️ What a magical Literacy Night at PIES! ✨
We had such a wonderful evening filled with stories, adventure, and a little campfire magic! We got to enjoy a special appearance from Percy himself, roast some s’mores, listen to storytelling, and meet our very own King, Queen, and Knight! 👑⚔️

And that’s not all! Our Book Fair was filled with adventurous reads, and the school was transformed into the perfect camping-inspired setting, complete with cozy lights and campfire vibes! 📖⛺
A huge thank-you to everyone who helped make tonight so special for our Pine Island Pelicans! 💚💛

📸 Don’t forget Percy’s Challenge of the Month!

Grab your favorite stuffy, snuggle up with a good book, and snap a picture of YOU reading with your favorite stuffed animal! 🧸❤️ Let’s show Percy how much our Pelicans love to read!

📚 A Little Book Fair Magic at PIES! 📚
There’s nothing better than a good book… especially when it’s one of your favorites! 🥹📖

We asked a few of our amazing moms to pick out their child’s favorite book and share a little reading magic with us! From favorite stories to special memories, it’s all about celebrating the love of reading at Pine Island Elementary.

What’s YOUR child’s favorite book? 💚💛
