Geneva School of Boerne’s Grammar School recently celebrated reading during its tradition of Book Week. Book Week activities include classroom door-decorating contests, a poster contest, a book drive, classroom guest readers, a visiting author and a parade.
This year’s theme “Quest for Virtue: Treasure in Timeless Tales” ties into the treasure hunt that Librarian Cindy Young created to encourage students to find examples of virtue as they read classic books.
She also arranged for visiting author Max Lucado to make a special appearance to read aloud to students from his new book, “Just in Case You Ever Feel Alone.”
Book Week festivities concluded with the book character parade assembly, where each student, teacher and administrator dressed as a favorite classic book character or historical figure. Winners for the door-decorating and poster contests were also announced, and all students had their moment on stage to share their character’s name and book.
“Book Week is one of many fun library events throughout the year where we remind students of the joy and privilege of reading great books,” Young said.
“The Book Week Character Parade is probably the highlight of the library year and helps students to grow in their understanding that reading is fun!” she added.
