Get ready to make waves as we make way for reading! DeSales will be participating in the Parents As Reading Partner (PARP) Program. The PARP program encourages adults to spend time reading with their child. Just 20 minutes a day for grades K-6 will help build vocabulary, improve comprehension and allow your children to expand their imagination. The PARP program will kick off on Monday, May 2, 2022 through Thursday, May 26, 2022. The theme for this year’s program is Make Way for Reading. On Monday, May 2, 2022 local author, Julie Berry, will be coming to DeSales to kick off PARP. She will provide fun activities and workshops for our students.
