Dear Ramah Elementary Families,
We’re excited to share that every student has been sent home with a copy of Charlotte’s Web for our school-wide book reveal! A letter was also included listing the chapters we’ll read together at school and which chapters families can read at home.
Please join us for our next Family Engagement Night on March 9, 2026, from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm. where we’ll host fun, hands-on literacy activities inspired by Charlotte’s Web. This is a wonderful chance to read together, enjoy book-related games and crafts, and celebrate reading as a community.
Quick reminders:
● Check the letter in your child’s backpack for the chapter schedule (school vs. home reading).
● Encourage reading a little each day to help your child follow along with classroom lessons.
● Mark March 9, 2026 on your calendar — we can’t wait to see you!
Thank you for supporting literacy at Ramah Elementary.
Warmly,
Ramah Elementary School
