> Book Fair
The Book Fair is a week long event that brings the books kids love to read to our school in an atmosphere of fun! Students can choose from their favorite titles and parents can be assured that they are getting great books at great prices. Plus, LRES PTA earns Scholastic Dollars for every purchase made. Scholastic Dollars are then used to purchase more books and supplies for LRES, including Scholastic Reading Counts. The book fair is held in the front lobby of the public library. Don’t miss this opportunity to build your child’s library and raise funds for LRES. Be sure to check out our fun family activities during Book Fair week. The Book Fair will be open during Donuts with Dads in December.
> 2022 Literacy Celebration & Read-a-Thon
Each year the PTA holds a read-a-thon and the students log their daily minutes on a reading log which is handed in. The top class from each grade will enjoy a treat! Our school wide goal is 275,000 minutes (that is just recording 20 minutes per day per student for two weeks).
During Literacy Week, we have several fun events and programs that support reading:
Bookmark Contest
Bookmark Sales
Author’s Day
> Reading Counts

We are relaunching our Reading Counts Incentive Program for LRES students! In past years, the program has only been done in the classroom but now students are able to participate from home, too!
Reading Counts motivates and encourages students to read and complete comprehension quizzes based on the books. Students are given positive messaging after completing quizzes and invited to share their opinions of completed books on a “Read-O-Meter” page. Tests can be taken at home or school! Log in from 7:00 am-3:30 pm.
