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.

One in six adults in Allen County reads at a 3rd grade level or lower, and these numbers haven't really changed in years. The Northwest Ohio Literacy Council and Lima City Schools want to change that statistic. This week is Adult Education and Family Literacy Week. Lima Mayor Sharetta Smith presented them with a proclamation encouraging individuals struggling with basic academic skills to take advantage of the services offered by these two programs. Reading is something anyone can do, and we as a community need to de-stigmatize the issue of adult literacy.
