LIBRARY NEWS (Mrs. Vanness)
Students are invited to our “Open Library” on Mondays and Fridays
from 11:45 am to 12:10 pm. On October 21st, students at Webster
will be participating in Drop Everything And Read (DEAR). On this
special day, wherever they are, whatever they're doing, people all
across BC take 15 or 20 minutes to read. The simple idea of DEAR is
to promote the importance of literacy by having as many students and
adults as possible read at the same time on the same day. Happy MR. STEFANI’S
