Laggan Public School was filled with stories, smiles, and a love of learning on Thursday, Jan. 29, as students and their family members came together to celebrate Family Literacy Day.
Hallways were transformed into welcoming reading spaces as students and family members sat side by side, sharing books and enjoying quiet moments of reading together.
Family Literacy Day is an important reminder that reading is a foundational skill that supports student success at every stage. Activities like shared reading show students that learning is not only important, but something to be enjoyed together—at school and at home.
The celebration reflects the Upper Canada District School Board’s continued investment in books and classroom resources, ensuring students have access to engaging, high-quality reading materials. This investment supports UCDSB’s ongoing focus on strengthening literacy and numeracy skills across the district.
Laggan Public School’s Family Literacy Day highlighted the powerful role families play in student learning. By creating space for students and family members to read together, the school reinforced a shared commitment to developing confident readers, writers, and problem-solvers.
