Today, Sand Springs was proud to host Pages Across the Plains, a regional literacy workshop presented by the Oklahoma State Department of Education's HEROES Literacy Instructional Team at Charles Page High School - Freshman Academy.

Educators, instructional coaches, administrators, and literacy leaders from across the region gathered to deepen their understanding of evidence-based literacy instruction aligned to the Science of Reading. Participants explored practical strategies to support young readers, connected with fellow educators, and discovered valuable resources and community partners dedicated to improving literacy outcomes for Oklahoma students.

We are grateful to OSDE and the HEROES Literacy Team for bringing this important professional learning opportunity to our community and for their continued commitment to helping every child become a confident, successful reader.

A special thank you to the vendors and volunteers who helped make today's event a success. Your time, expertise, and support provided valuable resources and connections for educators from across the region.

Thank you to everyone who attended and invested their time in strengthening literacy instruction for Oklahoma students!

Families gathered at Charles Page High School last night for Camp Read-A-Lot, a special family literacy event hosted in partnership with the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) HEROES Literacy Team!

Throughout the evening, students and their families participated in engaging, hands-on literacy activities designed to make reading fun and meaningful. Families explored practical strategies they can use at home to support reading and writing, discovered ways to build strong literacy skills, and received resources to keep learning going all summer long.

Guests also enjoyed a delicious meal and refreshments provided by Chick-fil-A Sand Springs, Simple Simon's Pizza of Sand Springs, and the Sand Springs Home, helping make the evening even more special for our families.

A heartfelt thank you to the HEROES Literacy Team, OSDE, Oklahoma 21st Century Community Learning Centers, our community vendors, and all of the volunteers who made this event possible. Your support helped create a memorable evening that strengthened family literacy, built positive school-family connections, and inspired a love of reading.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a night of learning, literacy, and fun!
