Ashaway School is Our Reading Oasis!

Once again Ashaway School participated in the Westerly Columbus Day Parade with an incredible float designed by our PTO.  This year's theme came from our Scholastic Book Fair, and the parade was the culminating event for lots of fun "Reading Oasis" activities!
 
Halina, our "Where is Your Reading Oasis?" contest winner, got to ride on the float in a special chair reserved especially for our "Float Pharoah".  Doesn't she look regal?  You can learn all about the contest and read some of the entries by clicking here!

Sara Mitkowski, our PTO president, was presented with a ribbon and certificate declaring Ashaway School the winner of the Most Original School award!


Kindergarten teachers Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Smith carried our banner

Fourth grade teacher Mrs. Ornburn and her husband provided the truck that guided our float through the streets of Westerly

Ashaway School continued our new tradition of handing out gently-used books along the parade route!  [click to enlarge]

These parade goers brought home a treat that will last much longer than candy!  [click to enlarge]

As you can tell, we all had a fabulous time!  You can see lots more pictures by visiting our online photo album at http://kmman.magix.net/album.
