Mehfoud and Varina Elementary Schools are pleased to announce that we are participating in One Book, Two Schools, to read Fenway and Hattie by Victoria J. Coe together!
Participating in a school-wide reading program such as “One School One Book” helps build a community of readers and a sense of belonging within our school. Families reading together help children listen better and longer, build bigger vocabularies, and develop a positive attitude about books and learning. Reading professionals recommend that families read aloud to children even when they are able to read by themselves. When an entire school reads together, it generates excitement about reading and being part of a fun program and community!
Our goal as a school is to focus on the Henrico Learner Profile skills of collaboration, global citizenship, and building quality character!
