To culminate Pick a Reading Partner Week, Covert Avenue School students in grades K-2 dressed as their favorite characters for a hallway parade. Teachers and students in upper grade-levels lined the halls, clapping and eagerly greeting the students as they walked through the halls in their costumes. Many held the books that represented their characters, as well.

Throughout the week, other themed days were held in honor of PARP, such as wear sweats for “Reading Jogs the Mind” on Monday, wear your favorite sports team for “Team up to Read” on Tuesday, a read along with guest author Amanda Montoni during the PTA meeting on Wednesday and a book fair on Thursday.
