Ohio State students are helping the Spartan Ride ensure young readers have a good book to enjoy this summer.
It was a perfect October evening for families to read under the lights! Lima City Schools kicked off their first family literacy event of the school year with "Reading Under the Lights" on Lima Senior High School's Joe Bowers Field. On Tuesday evening, families and their kids were able to grab some popcorn and sit on the field reading classic children's books and going over sight words, parts of speech, and grammar. There were also various games for the kids to play and to run around the diamond. On Tuesday evening, we talked with two Lima Senior students to get their insight on why these nights are important.
Lima City Schools is making sure students across the district get a little extra learning outside of the classroom. Monday, the Spartan Ride made its first stop of the school year at Heritage Elementary. The old school bus has been converted into a mobile library where kids and parents can pick up books, activities, flashcards, and information about community resources. It stops at several schools in the district at the end of the school day throughout the year, and all items are free to keep. Parents appreciate the Spartan Ride because it gets their kids excited to learn at home.
Ohio State students help the Spartan Ride make sure the students have a good book for the summer. The Education Club donated 70 books to the Spartan Ride that they bought with money they raised from a Scholastic Book Fair they held this past school year. The students will be able to take the books home and keep them, and they cover a wide range of reading levels, from picture books to chapter books and even some comic books.
