St. Mary Literacy coach Stacey Moser addresses familes at Family Literacy night January 28

It's been a fun AND funny week at St. Mary School in Moose Jaw.  They celebrated Literacy Week with a family night of reading, a family literature quiz and book exchange and took the opportunity to launch their annual "Read To Ride" program where kids have a chance to win a mountain bike from Canadian Tire just for reading books!  CHAB's Craig Hemingway spoke with St. Mary Literacy coach Stacey Moser about those initiatives, an exciting partnership with Chapters/Indigo, and more!  

 
 
                      

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zoe Stelzner is all smiles after winning a Chapters gift card in the literacy quiz (top left), familes have some tough decisions to make with the book exchange (top right), Makayla Anderson hopes to read enough to win the mountain bike with "Read To Ride (bottom left), and familes huddle together in search of answers in the literacy quiz. 

In addition to Literacy Night, the kids have been sharpening their comedic skills with a week of joke-telling, that wraps up with the best jokes being performed Friday afternoon for the entire school.  The top two joke-tellers from each class get to compete in the finals.  We were able to

visit the school and get some of the best ones on tape (our apologies that we clipped the start of a couple jokes - we think  you'll figure them out)
