Aikin Elementary celebrates reading with annual Taste of Reading

Aikin Elementary held its annual Taste of Reading event in the Aikin Library. This event offered students the opportunity to sample different types of books in hopes they would want to read more.
Students could rotate to two different menu selections during their 20-minute tasting, served by volunteers and staff members. The choices on the menu included:

  • A Space Odyssey
  • The Great Outdoors
  • Giddy-Up
  • Prehistoric Adventures
  • The Jungle Awaits
  • Terrific Teeth

“Our students always look forward to the book tasting; it’s a great way for us to showcase books that a lot of kids do not usually choose to check out,” Aikin librarian Melanie Loughmiller said. “This year, the Aikin Parent Association helped with decorating and volunteering; it was a super fun and successful event.”

Quick Tip Information

Quick Tip is a support system that allows students to communicate with school administrators. While the district already has many programs to help students deal with challenges such as bullying behaviors, stress, peer pressure, and family problems, Quick Tip helps break the code of silence often experienced by students because it allows them to report concerns to administrators anonymously.
